Often held the 4th Saturday of every March, SWAN Day – Support Women Artists Now Day – is an international event designed to showcase the power and diversity of women’s creativity. The Martinez Arts Association sponsors this annual event at the Old Train Depot on Ferry St. in Martinez. For more information about the international event go to: http://www.womenarts.org/swan/

Locally, the Martinez Arts Association has brought this international holiday close to home in downtown Martinez and has been celebrating since 2007. With the support of the City of Martinez and local artists we have promoted the concept of celebrating all forms of art including visual & performing arts. This event is FREE and we invite all artists and lovers of the arts to join in the celebration of this amazing collaboration of artists.

to the inside of the depot. You may sign up for depot space, but you may be assigned an outside booth. We will try to keep everyone informed as we go forward.
