Historyedit
Starting around 1927, a group of around 50 artists, primarily from San Francisco, who would travel on the weekends to Marin County. They came together to form the "Marin Art Association", one of which was William Rauschnabel.[3] In 1935, the name was changed to the Marin Society of Artists.
In 1944, the Marin Society of Artists joined together with 7 other local organizations to purchased 11 acres of land from the former Kittle Estate at 30 Sir Francis Drake Blvd. in Ross, California.[4] The groups incorporated the following year for loan purposes, under the name Marin Arts and Garden Center (MAGC).[4] Eventually only three organizations remained on the land including the MSA, the Ross Valley Players, and the Marin Garden Society.[4]
In 2015, membership was around 200 people.[5] With the rising cost of rents in 2015, MSA decided to leave the Marin Arts and Garden Center in Ross and move to its present location in San Rafael.[5]
