MSA is partnering with St. Vincent de Paul Society of Marin County to collect new socks and gently worn jackets for St. Vincent de Paul’s clients. The opening reception is January 10, where you can enjoy the art show, meet the artists, and bring in a donation of new socks or gently used coat or jacket.
