Rhythmix Cultural Works and the West Alameda Business Association will present three hours of art, food, craft vendors and musical performances on Webster Street. Three new art installations will be revealed in empty storefront spaces by visual artists ghost ghost teeth, Ginny Parsons and Chris Rummell & Dickson Schneider. Live music and dance performances from Gamelan Sekar Jaya, Maze Daiko and San Francisco’s Epiphany Dance Theater will accompany these installations, creating an extraordinary event for the whole family.
Live performances will feature sneak previews of Island City Waterways (ICW) roving art experience to be presented by Rhythmix Cultural Works at Crab Cove May 19-20. Art Walk attendees will experience world music and dance of Maze Daiko with Epiphany Dance Theatre in the empty lot next to Calafia’s Taqueria. Across the street in front of the US Bank, Gamelan Sekar Jaya will present one of Bali’s rarest ensembles, gamelan jegog, featuring bamboo marimbas with tubes up to ten feet long. Partnering with the West Alameda Business Association to launch 2nd Fridays and make this event more festive, there will also be several food trucks and craft vendors onsite.
With support from the California Arts Council, “Love Our Island Art Walk,” is an art-centric creative placemaking project that utilizes public art, storefront art installations, and music performances to activate Alameda’s historic downtown districts.
