Local artist and goldsmith Lilia Chandran brings her WERKSTATT pop-up back to The Shop at Marin Art and Garden Center for a four-week run.

Browse original works of art, locally-produced handcrafts, jewelry, and décor in the upper level of The Shop, to the accompaniment of Lilia’s own curated soundtrack featuring musical artists from Marin and beyond.

The Shop is stocked with new spring merchandise to breathe life into your home, with an expanded selection of books, puzzles, jewelry, home goods, vintage finds, and original art. Many of the unique items are from local makers and small businesses. Shop local and support the Marin Art & Garden Center.

    I’m a multi-instrumentalist who has studied a wide array of music. I started out writing songs on my guitar and playing in folk bands with my 12-string, trumpet, banjo, and mandolin. I moved on from there to study classical composition where I focused a lot on romantic era music before becoming enthralled with contemporary composers like Anna Clyne, Arvo Part, Esa-Pekka Salonen and musical groups like Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Failure, and Aesop Rock to name a few.

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.
