WEST OAKLAND MATTERS:
July 27, 2024
One of Oakland's most historically vibrant communities partnered with Oaktown Pictures to create a special one-day-only Arts & Advocacy Event produced by Oakland artists and centered on West Oakland's residential history.
Opening July 27th from 3pm to 8pm, the collaboration featured
visual artists, journalists, and neighborhood residents highlighting challenges and creativity amidst West Oakland's resistance and resilience versus economic and environmental crisis.

ONGOING BOARD MEMBERSHIPS IN 2025:
OAKLAND ART MURMUR
&
EAST BAY PHOTO COLLECTIVE
I'm excited to continue on the Boards of Directors of two of Oakland's greatest organizations linking the Visual Arts and East Bay communities: Oakland Art Murmur (OAM) and the East Bay Photo Collective (EBPCO). This enrichment of contact with the leaders behind things like First Fridays, Open Studios, and Oakland Photo Workshop brings me new lines of sight to many fellow Bay Area artists for collaborating on support, visibility and celebration.
