Everyone is invited to join us in celebrating and advocating for arts, culture, & creativity in our communities of Oakland, the East Bay, and throughout California. Join us for inspiring speakers, performers and the opportunity to network with the East Bay arts community!

Oakland arts leaders are partnering with CA for the Arts and the Alameda County Arts Commission to present this important recognition of Arts, Culture & Creativity Month. This will be a wonderful way to bring together community members and city, county, and state leaders. This year's Arts, Culture & Creativity Month theme is Health, Healing, & Hope to support the role of the arts for our whole community!

Attendees of all ages are welcome to join this Celebration of Arts, Culture & Creativity Month and enjoy the OMCA Friday Nights at the Museum, which includes live music, food trucks, and activities.

In 2019, Arts, Culture & Creativity Month was declared by the California Senate in a concurrent resolution to be held every April to recognize and celebrate the arts in California.

CA for the Arts directs this annual month-long spotlight on the arts to raise visibility and awareness about the value of our sector, to empower arts advocates to take action, and to spur greater investments in our industry and workforce.
