Our Mission

Promoting Cultural Enrichment
We were formed in 1982 by City Council, who saw a necessity to represent the interests of an art community that was a large part of the identity of our community. Our mission is to serve as liaison between Sausalito's City Council and the local Art Community. All are members are directly appointed by the City Council of Sausalito. We are charged with protecting and preserving our local culture and artistic heritage. We endeavor to encourage the growth of our local art community and serve as stewards of the public art in Sausalito.

Art is the bread and butter of many businesses in Sausalito and has been instrumental in the economic well-being of many local businesses. Art is largely what delineates Sausalito from every other other community. For decades artists have flocked to Sausalito because it is a haven for artists.

We are here to ensure that artists will continue to thrive in our community and residents will enjoy the cultural richness that is a part of daily existence in Sausalito.

Our full appointment consists of 9 Voting members and 2 advisory members. We are volunteers that serve at the leisure of City Council, while ensuring our artistic heritage remains intact. We are currently looking for that rare breed of individual that wishes to give back to our community, by serving on the Sausalito Arts Commission. It will require time and effort, but some things are worth working for. Our local culture needs our protection and preservation.
