Gallery Route One (GRO)
GRO was created to provide a professional exhibition space for artwork and a program that addresses the cultural, political, and environmental concerns of our rural community and the greater Bay Area. A visit to GRO, with its many group exhibits and themed shows, is always a rich experience. The GRO calendar always lets you know what’s going on, and they show my work permanently, with monthly changes, so there is always some of my work on exhibit. I am currently the secretary of this artists’ group.

ICB organizes its own open studio every year, and over 50 artists (including me) also participate in the Marin Arts Council’s annual open studio event.
