The emerging group of design-oriented business on and around Miller and Locust avenues are participating in the Arts Commission's monthly celebration of the arts, starting Sept. 6.
The Mill Valley Arts Commission's vaunted First Tuesday Artwalk has long been a downtown-centric affair, but the confluence of art- and design-oriented business on and around Miller Avenue is looking to change that, providing a link between downtown and the exhibits at the Mill Valley Community Center.
"We're all really excited to get involved in the Art Walk and, most importantly, to showcase some amazing artists," says Bonnie Powers, co-owner of Poet and/the Bench jewelry shop, workspace and gallery. "Getting involved in this event makes perfect sense."
Poet and/the Bench is one of the members of the Mill Valley Design District, a group of innovative, design-focused businesses on and around Miller Avenue that includes Henrybuilt, Revelation, Kress Jack at Home and 7 on Locust. The group formed in late 2015 as a way to celebrate their respective emergence, deciding over the summer to collectively join the First Tuesday Artwalk, starting in September.
The monthly celebration of local art includes a host of venues, including the the Mill Valley Chamber of Commerce & Visitor Center, O’Hanlon Center for the Arts, Seager Gray Gallery, the Mill Valley Public Library, Dolls and Dandy Salon, Throckmorton Theatre, the Depot Bookstore & Café and City Hall. Receptions at each venue are Tuesday from 6–8pm. Here’s the First Tuesday Artwalk Guide with venues and a map.
