For the past three years, the organization has used its annual show, set for October 12-14 at the Marin Art & Garden Center, to support One Tam, which works “to ensure a healthy, vibrant and diverse landscape for our beloved and iconic Mt. Tam. The organization is a community-supported partnership of Mt. Tam’s land agencies and managers that includes California State Parks, Marin County Parks, Marin Municipal Water District, and the National Park Service along with the nonprofit Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy.
This year’s show, dubbed “Between Bay and Sky,” features more than 140 new watercolor and oil paintings of views, trails, and the natural environment in and around Mount Tamalpais. Fifty percent of all sales will be donated to One Tam.
A group of 10 artists created BayWood Artists in 1997, drawing inspiration a year earlier, when San Anselmo artists Zeneida Mott, Lissa Nicolaus and Sherrill Miller were approached by Mary Welch, then-director of MarinScapes, an art show that benefits Buckelew Programs. It was suggested that since they all painted landscapes, the artists could do something to also preserve the land they loved to paint. BayWood Artists has remained small in size with about 10-12 members with guest artists added every year.
Funds raised at this event go directly to One Tam programs and programs (MORE INFO HERE).
