Description
Bay Area Now and Later is a group show created by local artists in response to the Bay Area Now exhibition, going on simultaneously at YBCA. Our goal in staging this exhibition is to show that the Bay Area's art scene is too diverse and vibrant to be summed up in one giant group show every three years. The aim of this exhibition is not to discredit or challenge our larger counterpart, but rather to present a supplement to Bay Area Now's survey of our contemporary art scene. We want to expose viewers to a cross section of artistic practice which might go unrepresented if we leave the definition of local artistic practice up to one institution.


Cricket Engine is a former military infirmary, utilised in the early part of this century. It is located in the 5th Avenue Marina, near Oakland's Jack London Square, among many other historic buildings, now artist work sites.

The collective is made of five artists. We work individually in our own studios as well as contributing to shows in the larger gallery space. Cricket Engine Gallery hosts a variety of shows and art events.
