A celebration of Sausalito's artistic legacy, its present day art scene and creative vision for the future.

February 16- March 30 Wednesday - Sunday 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Following the end of WW II, Sausalito attracted artists, writers, musicians and other expressive souls that began its reputation as an art colony and creative enclave, a reputation that continues today.

The Sausalito Center For The Arts celebrates Sausalito’s rich artistic history through a multi-exhibit exhibition including artwork from the original Sausalito Art Colony and the artists leading today’s creative expression.

Join us February 16th from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM as the City of Sausalito officially cuts the ribbon on the opening of the Center and Exhibition.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to experience the past, present and future of art in Sausalito.
