Hello, Friends!
We are Alli and Morgan - Mill Valley locals, moms and messy art lovers! We became dear friends through our childrens’ preschool and soon discovered that we share a love of creativity, birthday parties, and the possibilities that unfold when kids freely explore art.
Our passion for these joyful, messy experiences led us to realize a shared dream: to create a space where art and play intersect and thrive. In 2024, we opened the Art Barn Mill Valley, a place dedicated to the wonderful world of process art and sensory play for children. We believe that every child deserves a nurturing, playful environment to ignite their imagination and find freedom and joy through art. Come play with us!
xx,
Alli and Morgan
