Award Winners

All our artists have already won simply by jurying in to this prestigious Festival, but each year we go one step farther and award four exhibiting artists a Special Recognition Award. The award comes with a $500 check and automatic entry into next year's Festival.

The award winners are selected by a panel of three highly qualified judges, each of whom rates each artist independently and then gathers for a spirited discussion. The four awards are presented at a charming artists' reception on the first night of the Festival.

Community Speaks

Lorin Rowan - Musician

“Mill Valley Arts Fest is a favorite of mine because it is a wonderful diverse community event featuring top-end talented artists from everywhere. In addition to the arts & crafts, there's the intimate outdoor music stage, always featuring versatile music acts of all styles appealing to all ages.It's a great outdoor scene in the beautiful redwoods surrounding the iconic Mill Valley Library. See you there!”
