Roll over podium to see what it used to look like!
Redwood Foyer
FOMC refurbished the Redwood Foyer of the Veterans’ Memorial Auditorium, with support from the Marin Arts Council, the County of Marin, and the Marin Symphony. In addition to attractive new bistro tables and bars, coordinated by Annie Bowman of Sunrise Interiors, the Foyer has been fitted with the lighting and hanging systems needed to display art on its walls. Not only does this make for a much more pleasant environment for intermissions and receptions, it makes it possible to offer a visual arts venue for such stunning shows as the Curley Collection.
Green Room
FOMC refurbished the Green Room, which is used for members-only intermission reception area and for meetings. The atrium has been re-landscaped to provide a natural tranquil setting. The room has been outfitted with furniture to match the style of the Redwood Foyer's renovation.
Friends of Marin Center Meeting Room
This room in the Exhibition Hall has been repainted with attractive deco edging and recarpeted to meet its many purposes for exhibitors, Marin Center staff and the FOMC Board of Directors.
The Meeting Room's new podium is a big improvement. FOMC's eminent public speaker and board member Henry Moody demon-strates as you roll over the image at left to see the difference.
The Showcase Theatre
New stage curtains, valances, carpeting and stairway lighting equipment make all the difference in this smaller venue.

Backstage Dressing Rooms
Most members will never see the improvement that Marin Center performers appreciate most: newly refurbished dressing rooms. The two large dressings rooms have been recarpeted. The four small dressing rooms have new carpet and couches. Imagine how much better a performance they will give after having a chance to relax on this snazzy diva-divine sofa!
FOMC will continue to enhance Marin Center with small improvements that make a big difference. But in order to fulfill the vision Frank Lloyd Wright originally had for Marin Center, a public and private partnership has been formed to develop and implement a complete renewal of the Marin Center complex. That partnership is the
Marin Center Rennaissance Project.
