ACCI Gallery Exhibition: October 11 - November 9, 2025


Opening Reception: Saturday, October 11, 2025, 4-6pm

ACCI Gallery | 1652 Shattuck Ave, Berkeley, CA


Looking for some inspiration? Immerse yourself in this gallery made by young local artists in ACCI's upcoming exhibition, Bridging the Bay: Expanding Connections. This exhibit is a Biennial Collaborative Exhibition of ACCI and The Metal Arts Guild. 

As artists, our work is fundamentally about bridges and connections - Between our imagination and our skill. Between concept and finished piece. Between artist and viewer. As metal artists, we convert our creative ideas into visible form. In both inner and outer spheres, we must bridge between the wild abandon of inspiration and the careful conscious work within the constraints of the materials, time, and our craft. Often the result of this creative tension is a bridge to an unexpected, unique piece of art.

NORTH BERKELEY OUTDOOR ART GALLERY 

We need your help to install this exciting public art project in North Shattuck!

Secure your street banner location today by sponsoring an original art display on the street poles of Shattuck, creating a destination outdoor gallery.

The North Shattuck Association is excited to announce a project as unique as the North Shattuck district itself and you are invited to showcase your business, your family, or recognize a beloved aspect of the community as an artwork.

An inspired outdoor original art gallery of prominent street banners featuring curated local artists’ works will dot the length of Shattuck Avenue from Delaware to Rose streets. Your business/name can be featured as a presenter of one or more banners, featured in promotion of the gallery, on the tour brochure, and acknowledged on the North Shattuck website. 

This is an amazing opportunity to support local artists, promote community culture and placemaking, and to elevate your brand/name with the historically innovative district of North Shattuck. Over ten thousand people traverse Shattuck Avenue each day and your business/name can be spotlighted on one or more of these high profile eight foot tall banners. )

As a destination feature for Berkeley, the North Shattuck outdoor gallery, will have a digital platform with a map of the banner locations, artists bios, descriptions of the art, and, of course, acknowledgement of you as a presenting sponsor of the installation(s). Various promotional partnerships include City of Berkeley, Visit Berkeley, Berkeley Hills Living magazine, ACCI Gallery, and others. The outdoor gallery will feature prominently in the North Shattuck Association’s social media and monthly newsletters with over 5,000 subscribers. Bay Area media outlets will also be informed of this unique public arts initiative.

The launch of the installations will culminate with a gala reception celebrating the artists and supporters like you, and with invitations to key Berkeley stakeholders and community members.
