MarinMOCA’s ART FWD: 5x5x5 celebrates artistic breakthroughs and creative networks—both at the museum and across inspiring Bay Area sites. Discover how leading artists find inspiration, support one another, and sustain the dynamic arts community that defines our region.

The series launches with a groundbreaking exhibition of 155 interconnected artists, turning the traditional model on its head. Five renowned artists—Saif Azzuz, Arleene Correa Valencia, Liam Everett, Isabella Kirkland, and Barry McGee—each selected five artists, who each chose five more, creating a dazzling constellation of diverse artworks that together capture Bay Area artistry and kinship.

Festivities kick off Opening Night, October 18, with live music, hands-on art-making, and food and drinks. The experience deepens through Artist’s Table gatherings—intimate conversations where guests explore the worlds that inpsired ART FWD: 5x5x5’s headliners.
