Go WILD at MarinMOCA's Fundraising Celebration

Every year, MarinMOCA artists give of their time and talents to create a fabulous 100-foot mural to fundraise for the museum. This year’s theme is “Art by the Inch Goes WILD”. Guests are invited to come select their favorite section to cut out and take home. The mural will be sold for $1.00 per square inch and guests can choose any section or size they like.

Artists have drawn inspiration this year from rescued animals at the San Rafael-based wildlife hospital, WildCare, which will be represented in the mural. Among MarinMOCA muralists are Susan Schmidt, Colleen Johnson, Sara Gorman-Brown, Kathleen Lack, Mary Beth Taggert, Harriet Burge, Beryl Miller, Nancy Nelson, Suzanne Merviss, Joel Yau and Donna Wallace-Cohen.

Art by the Inch is an unusual and fun way to experience local art while fine-tuning your artistic eye to purchase that perfect piece. There will also be a silent auction available for browsing. This evening supports the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art’s ongoing exhibitions and community events. MarinMOCA is a unique museum that merges the talent and leadership of artists with the qualities of a museum.

This exhibit will be open from October 11-25th, culminating in the big fundraising celebration on October 25 from 5 to 8pm. Curious visitors are encouraged to stop by the gallery to see the artists working on the mural and also to get a glimpse of their favorite section ahead of time, as the mural artwork will be sold on a first come, first served basis on October 25th. The Marin Museum of Contemporary Art is located at the Novato Arts Center at Hamilton Field, 500 Palm Drive, Novato, California. Hours are Wednesday through Friday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visit our website: http://www.marinmoca.org or call 415-506-0137 for more information.
