Art on the Farm... History + Press

 Our History

Founder, Alan Mart

Art on the Farm was the vision of Bolinas farmer and artist, Alan Mart.  In 1998, Alan decided that he would never have the time to make art outside of being a farmer, if he didn't create the time.  Art on the Farm was Alan's way of making the time for his art.  Since 1998, artists from the Bay Area and beyond have stepped up to assist in Alan's mission, to create art inspired by farms, and give back to the farmers.  Read below for mentions of "Art on the Farm" in the news.  Click here to view a slideshow of highlights >
