The Bay Area’s favorite art destination, Sausalito’s historic ICB Building, will open its doors to the public Dec. 3-4 for the 53rd annual Winter Open Studios.
The ICB is the center of the creative energy the Bay Area is known for. With 100-plus notable artists showing work ranging from sculpture, abstract and figurative painting, photography, fiber and textile art, jewelry, and images made with the help of AI, the Winter Open Studios is the one yearly art event not to miss.
Many ICB artists have had their work included in the de Young Open as well as other prestigious museums and galleries spanning the globe. Come see work by Bibby Gignilliat, Louise Victor, Pamela Kogen, Dan Cassidy, Karen Meadows, Nance Miller, Deb Inman, Sharon Paster and Rachel Davis, along with dozens of other talented artists.

With such a unique art community, it is no surprise that artists can sometimes wait for years to join the ICB Building. The collaborative spirit of the artists within the building makes it a special place. Gordon Studer, an award-winning former commercial illustrator turned abstract painter, describes the ICB as “an incredible place with a supportive community, making it possible for artists to flourish.”
During Winter Open Studios, join designers and gallerists for the opportunity to stroll through three floors of studios all nestled under ICB’s iconic curved roof. With its exposed beams and spectacular views of the San Francisco Bay, the building is a historic landmark on Sausalito’s working waterfront. Well-known Bay Area designer Robert Federighi speaks for many when he states that “the impressive, wide-ranging selection of art at the ICB is the best resource I have ever found. It is my first stop when looking for myself or my clients.”
Winter Open Studios is the perfect event for artists to share the stories behind their art with visitors.
Learning about the inspiration and process of making art is a huge plus for collectors, opening the
possibility for strong long-term connections.
The ICB is located at 480 Gate Five Road, Sausalito. Winter Open Studios is free and open to all. Ample free parking is available and is ADA Accessible (on the bay side).
All Marin County health and safety protocols will be in effect.
