Meet the Maker with Lucy Martin

Award-winning local artist Lucy Martin will join us at The Shop where she will present her botanical artwork, which is on display in the 24th Annual Exhibition in The Studio, and on sale in The Shop. Through her work, Lucy conveys her deep love for nature, especially for what is often overlooked: those small, unexpected and delightful things we can discover when we look closely.

Lucy will speak at 4 pm; you’ll have a chance to ask questions and meet the artist while you browse our selection of Lucy’s framed original paintings, framed and unframed prints, and notecards.

Light refreshments will be served.

Masks required in The Shop.

    Lucy Martin’s botanical paintings reflect her lifelong, deep connection with nature. She grew up in Colorado where her love of the mountain forests nurtured in her a habit of close observation of the botanical world. As a young girl she began drawing the plants she saw around her.

    Lucy paints in gouache and watercolor, frequently focusing on the mysterious beauty of fungi and lichens. Mainly self-taught, she has developed an individual painting technique characterized by layering, meticulous detail and intense color. She lives in Santa Rosa, California, and teaches gouache technique for botanical art.

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.
