Marin/Scapes: Art That Changes Lives

by Marin Magazine Site Staff September 11, 2007
Two women, one in a purple top with a green necklace and the other in a black top, are smiling and standing close together outdoors. Both are wearing name tags from Marin/Scapes, an event that changes lives through art. Lush plants fill the background, adding to the vibrant scene.
A designer tan leather handbag with gold accents and tassels on the strap is lying on a white knitted surface. The bag features a gold clasp in the center and decorative studs along the bottom edges, offering elegant style with less embellishment.
Designer for Less
A colorful illustrated map titled "Tastes of West Marin" highlights various food destinations in the region. Featuring icons for cheese, yogurt, oysters, meat, and other local delicacies, this map guides you through celebrated spots like Point Reyes and Bodega Bay.

A black coffee cup with a white "Equator Coffees & Teas" logo on it sits on a red saucer, perfect for a Day Trippin' escapade. The cup is filled with coffee, and the background is plain white.

Two cyclists in colorful racing outfits and helmets ride on a winding road in a hilly area. The cyclist in front leans forward, focusing on speed, while the cyclist behind follows closely. The green land is vibrant under the sunny, clear skies.
