Mill Valley Fall Arts Fest Is Now Accepting Artist Applications for 2022
As has been the case with all of Mill Valley’s major events over the past two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, the most important outcome of the two days of the Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival in 2021 was that they happened, safely and beautifully in the always-stunning redwood grove at Old Mill Park.
More than 140 artists showcased their work and turnout was solid throughout the weekend, despite a consistent drizzle, a clear indication that one of Mill Valley’s landmarks remains as popular and well-regarded as ever.
Organizers are now readying the 65th annual Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival, set for Sept. 17-18, by inviting artists to submit applications through Zapplication, with only original artist-made work accepted. The application fee is $40 through April 15 and $50 for applications received April 16-22.
MVAF also features crowd-drawing musical and children’s entertainment, a Saturday evening wine and cheese award ceremony for the artists, complimentary coffee and snacks for artists each morning, free parking for artists and a free shuttle bus service for attendees, a bountiful group of volunteers to assist artists, a beautiful outdoor redwood grove setting and a special Presentation Grove and Emerging Artist Grove as well as $500 Awards of Excellence to four artists who are invited back the next year.
