I just wanted to invite you to our big 6 year celebration this coming Saturday. Please consider attending or contributing to our ongoing safety renovations campaign so we can avoid the fate of over 20 other art warehouses in Oakland that have lost their leases since the Ghost Ship fire. Additionally consider contributing something to our silent auction. Please spread the word and bring your friends and family. Thanks for the consideration.
Our new website that was built by Hack the Hood can be found on this placeholder website:
