At the heart of the Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival is a deep commitment to nurturing new voices in the art world. Our Emerging Artists Program is designed to support talented young artists, ages 18 to 26, who are just beginning their creative journey.

Each year, four emerging artists are invited to exhibit their work in a dedicated area of the festival—the Emerging Artists Grove—where they receive:

  • Complimentary booth space and tenting

  • Professional mentorship

  • A platform to connect with thousands of art lovers and collectors

Launched in 2021, this program is part of our ongoing effort to invest in the future of the arts. Thanks to the generous support of the Crawford Family, the Emerging Artists Grove has become a festival favorite and a launching pad for the next generation of celebrated creators.
