2 for 1 Tickets to MarinScapes Art Exhibit & Benefit on June 27-28 at historic Escalle Winery in Larkspur

One doesn’t have to look far to find treasure in Marin. Just look up at the fog rolling over Mt. Tam, look down the spectacular coastline or look over to Angel Island. Our county’s inspiring beauty is what makes the 27th Annual MarinScapes Fine Art Exhibit & Benefit so special.

When the County recently gave the Marin Cultural Treasure Award to Steve Emery and Kathleen Lipinski, it recognized their contributions as fine artists and community members. Both have shown – and volunteered - at MarinScapes for many years and Steve Emery is this year’s featured artist.

MarinScapes is held at the historic Escalle Winery, which was built in the 1890s by the young Frenchman Jean Escalle who planted the northern hillsides of Larkspur with wine grapes. Now a private residence, attendees to MarinScapes will enjoy experiencing the bucolic property, which is rarely accessible to the public. Woody Allen chose it as a location for his Oscar winning movie “Blue Jasmine.”

Maybe you’ll find an “only in Marin” art treasure to take home at MarinScapes. If you do, it will be for a good cause—supporting critical mental health and addiction services provided by Buckelew Programs, including Family Service Agency of Marin and Helen Vine Recovery Center.

Other fine artists and photographers at MarinScapes include Krystal Allen, Leslie Allen, Martha Borge, Christin Coy, Laura Culver, Bryn Craig, Willard Dixon, Ben Farnham, Wendy Goldberg, Marilyn Greenblat, John Byron Griffin, Katie Horacek, Tim Horn, Don Kellogg, Tom Killion, Judith Klausenstock, Richard Lindenberg, Sherrill Miller, Will Noble, Julie Nunes, Carol Peek, Susan Schneider, Randy Sexton, Connie Smith Siegel, E. Loren Soderberg, Tom Soltesz, Matt Tasley and June Yokell.
