Worth Your Time!

Written by D.A. Levy on August 5th, 2010

This is one of our favorite annual events, from the Preview Party on Friday night (this year on September 3rd) through Sunday. Since 1952, every Labor Day weekend, stars of the contemporary art scene are showcased on the sparkling bay shores of Sausalito, California’s Mediterranean-like seaside village.

The internationally famous beauty of Sausalito, with its historic waterfront and unique art galleries and shops, has long attracted art collectors. Just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, Sausalito is located on the San Francisco Bay shoreline with breathtaking views.

The best local, American, and International Artists bring their combined perspectives, virtuoso skills, and more than 20,000 original works of art — including paintings, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, fiber art, fine glass, woodwork, mixed media, and photography. From functional to surreal, witty to the elegantly decorative, these one-of-a-kind and limited edition Art Works form an unparalleled collection that can only be seen once a year.

Enjoy the opportunity to meet the Artists one-on-one or stretch out on the lawn in the scenic bayside park. Enjoy nonstop entertainment on three stages or gourmet delights with champagne and fine wines. The Sausalito Art Festival is the #1 Event of its kind and the perfect way to celebrate your Labor Day Weekend.
