2026 Benefit for Art - Marin Open Studios Gallery Opening Party

Join us for a thrilling night of art, champagne, fantastic food from Insalata’s and others, wine, chocolate from a top local chocolatier, and more! All to benefit Marin Open Studios as we open our Showcase Gallery of 260 artists and celebrate Marin’s local treasures.

For 33 years, Marin Open Studios has been the heartbeat of Marin's art community, connecting thousands of art lovers with hundreds of talented local artists each year. We are raising much needed funds to continue our mission to spotlight local artists and enrich our community year-round through vibrant, accessible art experiences.

This year, we are also shining a light on Autistry Studios, a pioneering arts and vocational training program that empowers autistic individuals.

This exciting benefit brings art lovers and local artists together for a spectacular evening. Set in a former-bank-turned-art-space, the Showcase Gallery opens with a party! Guests can unlock surprises in the historic bank vault during the Pick-a-Treasure game, fill an art box with chocolates they select from a local chocolatier, sip on special wines from the wine pull, and bid on incredible vacation stays in the auction. With a tasting table, an open bar, and the first look at the latest gallery exhibition, it’s an unforgettable night celebrating art and community.

This is also your exclusive chance to purchase artwork in the Showcase Gallery as it officially opens to the public!

Be a part of the Benefit for Art and celebrate the extraordinary creativity and generosity that make Marin truly special.
