The Industrial Center Building a.k.a. the ICB. is tucked away near the waterfront in Sausalito. While the interiors show off the industrial ship building history of this fantastic building, the occupants are all about art. There are 140 Marin artists who have studios at the ICB, and every type and style of art imaginable is on view and for sale.

How To Visit ICB in Sausalito

If you are interested in a particular artist, you may want to schedule a studio visit. Otherwise take your chances and wander around and knock on a couple of doors. On Saturday September 4 and September 25 from 11am to 5pm, there is an artist at work event, whereby you can visit a bunch of artists studios while the artists are working.

Here are two of our favorites:

Julie Harris creates multi-layered abstract works that we promise will pull you in and keep you there. Her studio in ICB (278E), is bursting with her bright and colorful work. It’s a happy and optimistic place, and Julie is a delight!

Bibby Gignilliat’s bold and joyful work is on display in her huge studio (235). Bibby also teaches popular mixed media classes in her studio. If you are visiting Marin when she’s offering one of these, just YES, do it!

Have look around at all of the artists and see what draws you in!
