Some
of the areas many activities include:
Art
- Studios Group (PROS) was established in 1997
to promote the work of artists living in the
Point Reyes Region. Realizing the wealth of
talent in the community, the group's founders
sought to bring together local artists and to
create events that are open to the "art
loving" public. For Art Tours: www.pointreyesart.com
