The 68th Mill Valley Fall Arts Fest Is Coming Soon: Help Us ‘Paint the Town’!
Here’s where you come in: We’re looking for a sponsor — an individual, a local business, a community organization — to fund this project. In return, the sponsor would own the completed piece, or they might donate it to Mill Valley as a permanent public artwork for all to enjoy. It’s a rare opportunity to sponsor something beautiful, participatory, and enduring — a project that will be remembered not just for the finished art, but for the countless joyful moments that created it.

Her sneakers show the miles, but they held up long enough to carry Audrey MacLean to her first Dipsea victory on Sunday morning. With bloody knees and aching feet, MacLean removed her shoes and socks at the aid station after crossing the finish line, but made sure not to lose track of them. “They’re the same shoes I wore in my junior year in high school,” the Redwood High grad said, recalling the 2021 season when she placed 16th at the CIF State Cross Country Division II Championship. On Sunday, Tiburon’s MacLean, 19, crossed the finish line at Stinson Beach to win the 114th Dipsea and made history in the process. She became the first female runner between the ages of 10 and 33 to win the Dipsea — famous for its handicapping system, which has produced a mix of younger and older winners.

Erected around 1835 by John Reed, it is one of the oldest standing mills in California.
