About the Outdoor Art Club in Mill Valley
Van Midde and Son Concrete could not be happier to have the opportunity to work for an organization with a such a rich and varied history. The Outdoor Art Club is a private, nonprofit women’s organization that was formed in 1902. There stated mission is, “To preserve the natural scenery of Mill Valley and the surrounding country, to beautify the grounds around public buildings, to work against the wanton destruction of birds and game, to encourage the development of outdoor art and to engage in other civic, literary and charitable work.”
The club was founded in 1902, after a group of women were appalled to see redwood trees being cut down in Mill Valley’s town square and wanted to do something about it. So they formed a club to preserve the natural beauty of the area and do charitable work. The club house itself, designed by Bernard Maybeck, was built on November 1, 1904. Maybeck charged $165.37 for the design and the construction itself cost $3,150. Since then the club has done many great acts of charity including taking in victims from the 1906 earthquake. They’ve also continued in the primary mission of conservation which extends beyond the area of Mill Valley to the greater Marin. Today the club has the membership of over 400 women of all ages, proud of the many accomplishments of their club and happy to be such a positive force in their community and the area around it.
