Carin Jacobs, Founder
Carin Jacobs is a writer, curator and small business advocate interested in what constitutes our definition of home and our sense of place. She is a columnist for the Petaluma Argus Courier and the former director of Petaluma Arts Center and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Sonoma State University.
“One of Carin’s many strengths is connecting people to create a crucible for the unexpected.”
-Val Richman, past Director, Petaluma Arts Center
"There is an experimental quality to Jacobs’ method of curation, almost like a chef combining different ingredients to produce a surprisingly successful dish.”
-Jane Vick, journalist
"Carin Jacobs’ ability to craft place-focused experiences for audiences that are simultaneously thought-provoking and warmly enriching and inclusive is truly phenomenal. Building genuine community around place with art and story is her passion and her super-power."
-Margie Purser, Sonoma State University, Professor Emerita and Museum of Sonoma County Board Member
