A CELEBRATION of creativity, connection, inclusion, and community.  Every year, the MUSE raises over $200,000 to ensure that our classes, events, performances and historic building are accessible and welcoming to people from all walks of life.

SHARE THE SPOTLIGHT this year’s Muse is KEVIN McNEELY, the artistic director of the Sonoma International Film Festival and a trustee of the Manitou Fund, which has generously supported many Sonoma Valley nonprofits over the years.

THE RIPPLE EFFECT the generosity of Kevin reaches more local establishments than you would expect.  A dedicated support of building the Sonoma community in a meaningful way, his philanthropic endeavors build up our establishments and their leaders to their greatest potential.
