Art by the Inch, a mural over 100 feet in length, will be featured at this year’s annual fundraiser at the new Marin Museum of Contemporary Art (MarinMOCA) on November 3rd from 4 to 7 pm. A fun-filled evening of music, wine, hors d’oevres and desserts will take place at the Museum Galleries located at 500 Palm Drive at the Novato Arts Center, Hamilton Field. There is no entry fee, but as a nonprofit museum, donations are encouraged at the door.
Expanding last year’s very successful event, the mural, some of the which was performance-painted at the Marin Lagoon Festival last June, will be displayed stretched between two galleries. By using rectangular templates of various sizes, patrons can choose their own portion of the mural to buy and take home for only $1 per square inch. The noted artists who created the mural will sign each selection on the night of the reception. This is a hands-on fun, affordable, non-threatening way to discover and learn about the artists’ processes. All of the proceeds will benefit the museum.
Kent Rupp, artist, long time Marin art instructor and 2005 Marin Master, will be a special guest artist. The other artists are Louis Bording, Dorallen Davis, Joan Hauck, Kathleen Lack, Margaret Mantua, Beryl Miller, Sandi Miot, Nancy Nelson, Randy Pottenger, and Joel Yau.
A painting by each artist will be on display during the exhibit. The winner of a raffle contest will be able to choose either one of these paintings or a painting from the artist’s studio valued up to $1,000.
The event also includes the Small Treasures exhibition of affordable art by MarinMOCA artist members. No artwork will be over 12x12.
Last but not least, a silent auction will feature Google Executive Chef Scott Giambastiani and members of the Google Culinary Team, who will prepare at the winner’s home a five-course meal for up to eight guests, on a date and time agreed upon by the auction winner and the Chef.
