A unique community-focused nonprofit art center located on several acres at the base of Marin County’s Mount Tamalpais. From our rich history to our beautiful setting, O’Hanlon Center has much in common with other California artists’ colonies founded in the early and mid 20th century. As we honor the cultural legacy of Ann and Dick O’Hanlon, we also strive to give back in new and innovative ways to the artists, art lovers, writers, and performers who inspire and support us.

PublicInterestDesign.org is principally a blog about a growing movement at the intersection of design and service. In many respects, this movement is decades in the making, while it’s also gained new life through a series of books, events, and exhibitions as well as the creation of new organizations and collaborations. Our hope with this new website is to share news and opportunities that the various stakeholders of the public interest design movement can take advantage of.

The movement’s consistent growth is potent evidence that people at all income levels have an appetite for and deserve quality spaces; that a great many architects, designers, and planners have a strong commitment to the communities where they live and work; and that funders and manufacturers are willing to invest real resources in creating great places, products, and programs.

A great place for emerging artists!
