Gallery 111 – ICB Artists Association Gallery

(This review is no reflection on Gallery 111 or the ICB Artists Association.) Professional artists should be careful when renting in this building. The rules are not conducive to those who use anything remotely toxic in their materials. I recommend checking with the management thoroughly before renting or subleasing in this building. Do not rely on the information in your lease or the master lease, or the person you are renting from, as the wording is ambiguous and misleading. The management is well meaning and helpful but very protective of those who want a no odor, no toxic environment. If you are a green artist go for it, but if you like the smell of your oil paint, etc., I recommend finding somewhere else.

Great place to spend an afternoon in beautiful Sausalito … Great artists all together under one roof what more can you ask for. And they have open studios twice a year that is not to be miss…

The Industrial Center Building (also known to the locals as «The ICB») is a landmark historic building steeped in the area’s ship building roots. Now it houses a vibrant community of artists’ studios. It’s not glamorous. In fact, the hallways are kind of dark and foreboding, and some of the studios seem that way too.
However, twice a year (once in ~ early December, once in ~ mid-​May) they host an Open Studios event/​sale which is not to be missed. Not all the artists participate, but many serve wine & cheese, etc. You’ll find something for everyone … from old school oil paintings (dating back to the 50s) to contemporary metal works, and everything in between.
