Ubuntu: Can Art Save A Community?

Premiss: While it was Artists that began Oakland traditions such as First Fridays and the Malcolm X Jazz Arts Festival, the support for our spaces, our artists and our communities has only decreased.

Join Artists, Curators, Movement Builders, Educators and Political Organizers for a CASAC Dinner Caucus - POTLUCK Style to discuss the politcal priorities that we, the Creative Class, need to state in the co-creation of a vision for the arts in Oakland that's grounded in cultural equity, access, and resources.
Can Art Save A Community? In fact it has, many times over!
