Creative Canvas with Ross Rec

Open to 2nd – 6th graders

Calling all young Picassos, Monets, and Van Goghs! Join us together with Ross Rec for an hour of afterschool fun and creativity Wednesday afternoons.  In this class, grade school students explore mixed media of watercolor, acrylic paint, pastel, and more, right here in the Garden. They will learn about color theory and fine detail about drawing and painting, and how to use them to create wow-worthy art. If your child loves to experiment with the fusion of shades and tones, they’ll love this class. They’ll work on canvas and paper as well as other mediums and be able to take home beautiful masterpieces and hang them above a fireplace, on a kitchen wall, in their room, or anywhere for their family to enjoy!

The art teacher is a super-fun, talented local artist who truly gives young students an amazing and unique art experience every week. All materials are included.

Wednesdays, 1:50pm–3:30pm

IRS Guidelines for Gifts from Donor Advised Funds to Support MAGC Events

Thank you for your interest in giving to the Marin Art & Garden Center events from your Donor Advised Fund (DAF) or Family Foundation.

We sincerely appreciate your generosity and support!

To ensure your gift follows the current IRS guidelines for DAF/Family Foundation support of an event, we would like to share the below guidelines with you.

  • Raffle tickets, tickets to galas and other special events, auction items, and benefits conferred in connection with a DAF/foundation grant are not permitted.
    • IRS has specifically ruled that fair market value associated with fundraising events cannot be separated, a practice known as “bifurcation.”
      • For example, with Edible Garden, if the price of the ticket is $200 and the FMV fair market value (non-tax-deductible amount) is designated to be $50, the donor must pay from sources other than her DAF/foundation for the full value of the ticket ($200) and not just for the non-tax-deductible amount ($50).
    • We recommend you confer with your financial advisor to confirm if any of these examples of how donors may still use their DAF to support an event would work for you:
      • A donor could sponsor the event, and not attend, and pay fully out of the DAF/foundation.
      • A donor could sponsor the event using DAF/foundation funds and attend by purchasing an individual ticket through non-DAF/foundation funds.
      • A donor could sponsor the event, join the event as a guest of another donor/table guest, and pay fully out of the DAF/foundation.
      • A donor could sponsor the event and host the afforded number of people at their chosen level as long as they pay for the seats at the lowest ticket price ($200 for Edible Garden) outside of their DAF.
        • As an example, a $1,500 sponsor that covers 2 guests, could pay for their sponsorship with $400 from a different source of funds, and then give an additional gift of $1,100 out of their DAF.
