We are sorry to announce the cancellation of this year's SWAN Day festival. In light of the current worldwide pandemic, considering our community's best interest and following the recommendations from authorities; the Board of the Martinez Arts Association is cancelling SWAN Day on April 4, 2020.

See you next year!

Check out the new Main Street Murals
If you walk or drive down Main Street you'll notice something looks different at the old Hilson's building that is under reconstruction. What used to be dull gray sheets of plywood have been transformed into beautiful murals celebrating life in Martinez! Acting on a request by Noralea Gipner MAA members Cyndy Wight and Dorrie Langley started painting, and painting, and painting…and, some 50 hours later, we have beauty instead of blight!
Thanks go to the Recovery Center (Central Contra Costa Sanitary Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility) and  Bill's Ace Hardware for the donation of paints and supplies.
