Oakland’s Temescal Arts Community Art Week (Oct. 3-10)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

You’re invited to the first-ever Temescal Arts Community Art Week, happening October 3–10!

We’re organizing a week of art, built on a simple belief: creativity heals, and creating together makes our community stronger, more resilient, and more whole.

Every day, from October 3^rd to the 10^th, you can take part in an artistic experience, whether it’s getting hands-on with collage, drawing, fabric painting and/or crafts; exploring a wide variety of visual art while attending art demonstrations and talks; listening to live music; improvising through music, dance, or spoken word; or simply relaxing at a neighborhood café surrounded by art. Go to https://www.temescalarts.com/about-page for schedule, addreses and details.
