Oakland, CA Over 25 local, established and emerging artists, working in a wide variety of mediums, will exhibit at the expansive Market Hall building, 55 Harrison Street, June 11 - 12, 2016 in Jack London Square, Oakland. The public is invited to explore, meet the artists, and get inspired as the artists share their colorful and exciting work as part of Pro Arts’ East Bay Open Studios. This year marks the group’s 6th year at one of Oakland’s biggest cultural events of the year. “The venue is the perfect setting, with a rich, very diverse range of original art”, cites Pamela McClain, a long time Oakland resident and Pro Arts supporter, “and I really love that it’s in a one stop setting where you can view the work and learn so much from all types of artists at the Hall.” Ranging from conceptual sculpture installations and political, ecologically themed work all the way to practical custom furniture and everything in between, this show will satisfy the most varied palette. Sculpture, painting, pastel, mosaic, photography, printmaking, drawing, woodwork, glass, ceramics, metal, and jewelry are all available for purchase at the ProArts event. June 11-12, from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm daily. With easy transportation options, ample parking and numerous dining spots nearby, it’s yet another win for Oakland, and a perfect place to spend an afternoon or two.
