"From Oakland Art Murmur, to the incredible muralists who paint the Town's walls in rich imagery, to galleries, art museums, and shows mounted at unexpected venues. While many are in your typical gallery settings, others take place at smaller museums, and even at unsuspected venues like the ice rink in downtown which will open its very first show this weekend featuring visual artists who have had a connection to the rink."
"A new exhibit at the Black Panther Museum on display through Feb. 28 asks, "Have you ever wondered who Oscar Grant would have been today?" The multimedia exhibit, which includes voice recordings by family members and loved ones, is part of a larger series called "1-800 Happy Birthday" that celebrates the birthdays of Black and brown people who lost their lives to police violence."
Oakland hosts a thriving visual arts culture including murals, galleries, museums, Oakland Art Murmur, and shows in unexpected venues. The downtown ice rink will open its first visual art show this weekend featuring artists connected to the rink. Event submissions can be sent to azucena@oaklandside.org or added via the events page self-submission form for free. 'Happy Heavenly Birthday, Oscar' at the Black Panther Party Museum commemorates Oscar Grant's would‑be 40th birthday and includes family voice recordings. The exhibit runs through Feb. 28 as part of '1-800 Happy Birthday' honoring Black and brown people killed by police. Filmmaker Mohammad Gorjestani created the project with surviving families.
