2022-23 EMV Guide: Art About
Art About Mill Valley was inspired by a curious visitor who came to the MV Chamber to find out the name of the artist who created the downtown Mosaic. The Mill Valley Historical Society had the answer – Alfonso Pardinas. With an abundance of fantastic art installations about town, we thought it would be fun to highlight many of our local treasures so you can seek them out on your own. We’re honoring the creators and express our deepest gratitude to the generous individuals, foundations and organizations who funded these community-enriching projects.
