Gather In: Building Sanctuary with Immigrant and Refugee Artists
Open House and Exhibition
Friday, December 6th, 2024
from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at
ARTogether
1200 Harrison Street in Downtown Oakland
This event will showcase artwork by diasporic artists, with food, a raffle, and opportunities to connect with artists from the Bay Area’s diverse immigrant and refugee communities.
As we witness the cycles of dehumanization and criminalization of our community continue here and abroad, our dedication to each other and resilience only strengthens. The new residency program provides a vital physical space where refugee, immigrant and diasporic artists can create, collaborate, and flourish in a supportive community that understands and shares their unique journeys.
This night is an opportunity to be together and experience incredible art from local immigrant and refugee artists, enjoy delicious food and drinks, and connect with the vibrant Bay Area community. Explore open studios, meet our artists-in-residence, and join us in celebrating our growth.
Please join us!
