Emerging Artists
In 2021 in the Festivals continued effort to support our community's young artists began the Emerging artist program. The program looks to support artists at the beginning of their artistic journey with the opportunity to show at a major art festival. Four young artists (18-26) are provided booth space, tenting and mentoring at no cost. The festival’s hope is to foster and encourage the next generation of festival artists. The emerging artist Grove is made possible with the ongoing financial support of the Crawford Family.
If you are an emerging artist and wish to be considered for future festivals please email emerging@mvfaf.org.

Community Speaks
Jim Welte - Mill Valley Chamber of Commerce
“A stroll through the redwood grove of Old Mill Park is a glorious, awe-inspiring thing to do at any moment. To do so surrounded by a multitude of fantastic art across every medium, while listening to live music and constantly bumping into old friends and friends and meeting new ones, with kiddos riveted by puppet shows and sing-alongs, is an essential human experience.”
