The Arts Commission was established in July 1996 by Town Council Resolution #3355. The goal of the commission is to add to the cultural character of Ross Valley through any form of artistic expression. The objectives include providing a structure to facilitate the creation of art in all disciplines in the community, promoting and exhibiting art and cultural works produced by Ross Valley artists and promoting art education in the community and schools.

The San Anselmo Arts Commission strives to enhance and promote a culture of the arts in Ross Valley, comprised of artists and events to engage, inspire and connect the people in our community.

Persons from the entire Ross Valley are encouraged to apply to serve on the Arts Commission.
