The Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival (MVFAF) is participating in February’s First Tuesday Artwalk with the presentation of We Are Here, a community art project led by artist Robert Louthan.
The completed artwork will be on display at the Mill Valley Community Center beginning Tuesday, February 3rd, as part of the First Tuesday Artwalk festivities. MVFAF will host a public reception with snacks and beverages from 5:30pm – 7:30pm, and the mural will remain on view until April 26th.
We Are Here was created during the 2025 Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival as a hands-on community art experience. Anyone who could hold a paintbrush was invited to help bring Samantha Ferro’s 2025 MVFAF poster art to life. The large-scale mural featured a ready-to-paint line drawing of Ferro’s Map of Mill Valley, allowing festival visitors of all ages and to make connections and contribute their own color and creativity.
The exhibit includes Louthan’s photos of the mural-making process.
