O’Hanlon Center for the Arts provides an environment and spaces where creativity and community can develop, expand and flourish

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S UPDATE – June 18, 2024

Happy Summer from OHCA
We were able to host the Mill Valley Chamber’s “After Hours” on June 11.  Check out the positive response from the Jim Welte of the Chamber:

All in the Family: EMV After Hours at the O’Hanlon Center for the Arts Felt Like the Best Version of a Family Gathering!!

Mill Valley is overflowing with innovative, ever creative arts and culture organizations. The O’Hanlon Center of the Arts boasts among the best venues for gathering in the 94941, and boy did that beauty show itself on Tuesday evening. O’Hanlon Executive Director Erma Murphy oversees a campus that is simply stunning, and they’re constantly churning out exciting new material, doubly so with a Fiber Arts showcase through June 27th and the Wo Schiffman’s Land Lines show thru June.

The After Hours event felt like the best version of a family gathering, with multi-generational attendees getting a chance to catch up with longtime friends and family, as well as newbies to the Chamber.
Attendees got to hear longtime, multi-talented creators Daniel Patrick and Clarke Pomeroy, GM at Whole Foods on Miller, for a performance on the center’s deck.
The one and only Clifford Waldeck, a man of many talents, did the heavy lifting to make the most of the car space available.

Summer brings new offerings and  kids camps.  Check out our programs and special events! JOIN US.
