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

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S UPDATE – July 15, 2025

Hello and welcome to OHCA

We are into our summer session and enjoying the creativity in our galleries and workshops.
 
The Archives and Collections committee is VERY busy uncovering treasures and learning a LOT about the history of our founders Ann and Dick O’Hanlon.
PLEASE come by the LOFT for a special “From the Archives” Exhibition this August.  The focus will be on Richard O’Hanlon’s work with stone! The opening reception will be Tuesday, August 5 from 5:30 – 7:30 in the LOFT. Mark your calendar!  There will be a special treasure hunt that anyone can do anytime to discover some rarely noticed treasures on the grounds. Treasure maps will be outside the loft main door starting August 5.
 
In honor of Mill Valley’s 125th Anniversary, OHCA will be participating in the September 1 Labor Day parade.  We will also have an info/history booth on the Depot Plaza along with other fun displays and activities. If you want to participate, please email the office. OHCA  founded as a non-profit in 1969 has a LONG history with Mill Valley. Learn more about the Mill Valley 125th Anniversary event HERE.
 
Best,

Erma Murphy
Executive Director
