About The Outdoor Art Club

The Outdoor Art Club stands apart as a working artist community and gallery venue rather than a traditional event space, offering couples an authentic Marin County setting where art installations and creative energy become part of your ceremony backdrop.

Located on 3.5 acres in Mill Valley, this estate combines manicured gardens with studio spaces and galleries that guests can explore.

The venue's artist-in-residence program means your wedding happens within an active creative community, not just a decorated building.
