EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S UPDATE – June 5, 2025

Hello and welcome to OHCA

It is almost summer!  We have several special events during the summer including a summer salon on solstice June 22.
 
Just announced:  we will be hosting our 2025 Artist (Writer) in Residence Lee Ann Prescott  in July!  Find out more about Lee Ann HERE.
 
In August we have two sold out weeks of Kids Summer Art Camps!  We are also preparing to have a presence in the Labor Day Celebration of Mill Valley turning 125 years old.
 
Work on the property has begun thanks to the financial support form our Spring Fundraising campaign.  BUT…we  are only 50% of the way to our $30K goal.
These projects are important for safety and to mitigate water and fire damage.  New Gallery door will be installed  in June and a safety railing behind the ceramic studio in August.
 
If you can lend your support we thank you in advance for your tax deductible donation.  Go HERE to make a contribution to OHCA! THANK YOU!

Best,

Erma Murphy
Executive Director
