Dear Friends and Supporters,

Arts Alive! MEET, GREET and LEARN is a MarinArts program launched in 2025 to partner with community organizations in fulfillment of our mission: to build audiences for the arts in Marin. The goal of Arts Alive! is to actively engage Marin communities with arts and culture through welcoming, educational, and socially enriching experiences.

In 2025, MarinArts successfully partnered with Lark Theater and the Marin Art and Garden Center to co-produce and co-sponsor three Arts Alive! events. Building on the success of these programs, we are now planning Arts Alive! 2026, and we are excited to share our vision with you.

Arts Alive! 2026 Program Overview
We are planning four quarterly events, each designed to bring people together to meet new friends, explore new ideas, and deepen their connection to Marin’s vibrant arts and culture sector.

2026 Schedule:

• Q1: The Dreamers and I (April 1, 2026)

• Q3: First Annual MarinArts Scavenger Hunt (July 1–31)
• Q4: San Quentin Documentaries / Cedars Shorts (October 14, 2026)

Offerings and dates are subject to change.

Budget & Sponsorship Opportunities

• Lark Theater partnerships (Q1, Q2, Q4)
$5,000 per event (3 events total)
• First Annual MarinArts Scavenger Hunt
$10,000 (a more complex, county-wide program)

Total budget for the four-event series: $25,000

We are currently in conversations with potential sponsors and co-sponsors for these events. Sponsors will be acknowledged across all media and marketing platforms, helping to promote both MarinArts’ mission and our exciting Arts Alive! offerings.

Our MarinArts team and dedicated volunteers are actively finalizing details so we can launch the 2026 program in January. We are very excited about the potential of Arts Alive! to continue strengthening community connections through the arts. If you are interested in participating in or supporting Arts Alive! 2026, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Warm regards,
