Bob Burton and his wife, the late Elza Burton, have been active in supporting and participating in the arts ever since they moved to Mill Valley in 1966. Along with Sali Lieberman and other activists, Elza was a founding member of the Mill Valley Center for the Performing Arts (now Marin Theatre Company) and served on its initial Board of Directors. Bob served on the Board of Directors of the Marin Theatre Company in the 1980s.
While on the Mill Valley Planning Commission and City Council (which included two years as Mayor), Bob supported numerous artistic endeavors, including approvals related to the original Sweetwater. In 2018 Bob was recognized by the City of Mill Valley/County of Marin for 50 years of volunteer public service. Together Bob and Elza subscribed to and supported the Marin Symphony for more than 40 years, and the Marin Theatre Company and Mill Valley Chamber Music Society since their founding.
