Guided by the belief that a rt can metabolize the emotional and ecological turbulence of our time\, Lo renz transforms accumulated gestures into luminous vertical paintings that balance vulnerability with resilience. She embraces painting as an act of participation rather than escape\, one that holds grief\, humor\, light\, and hope in dynamic tension. Lorenz invites viewers into a contemplative space where attention itself becomes a form of repair\, and where abstract ion offers a language for imagining what might grow from uncertainty. \nAu gust 15 – September 19\, 2026\nArtist’s reception: Saturday\, August 2 2\, 2-4 pm\nOakland Art Murmur First Friday: September 4\, 5-8 pm\nArtist talk/Closing reception: Saturday\, September 19\, 3-5 pm\nGallery Hours: S aturdays\, 12-5 pm & First Fridays\, 5-8 pm\nAll events and entrance to th e gallery are free of charge LAST-MODIFIED:20260730T033314Z LOCATION:Manna Gallery\, 473 25th St.\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United Stat es URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/are-you-with-me-now-jeanne-lorenz/? utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=oakland-ca X-SOURCE-NAME:Oakland Art Murmur X-SOURCE-URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Hannah Franco: Poiesis DTSTART:20260904T180000Z DTEND:20261004T000000Z DTSTAMP:20260828T001721Z UID:10005845-1788519600-1791046800@oaklandartmurmur.org CATEGORIES:arts DESCRIPTION:SLATE is pleased to present Hannah Franco: Poiesis\, a solo ex hibition of new paintings by abstract artist Hannah Franco.

See one or both at that galleries at 770 West Grand A ve in Oakland \nTransmission Gallery is pleased to present Fear Not\, rece nt work by William Rhodes. \nWilliam Rhodes’s sculptures on view incorpo rate objects that have been used\, inherited\, discarded\, or found with e lements he has carved himself. Trained early on as a furniture maker\, he combines hand carved figures\, flames and snakes with objects collected fr om a family home\, photographs\, hardware\, tools\, and other remnants of everyday life. Neon words signal from some pieces. \nThe resulting works r esemble shrines or memorials\, but they remain grounded in the ordinary. R eligious symbols appear alongside household objects. A photograph might be surrounded by carved waves\, tools\, hardware\, animals\, or religious sy mbols. A suitcase can become an architectural space. A toilet becomes the base of an unexpected monument. Things with little apparent value are care fully incorporated into elaborate constructions\, their histories becoming part of the work.\n​\nRhodes is equally interested in people\; family\, mentors\, and leaders\, as well as those who have been overlooked or trea ted as disposable\, recognizing and elevating their presence in his work. By giving attention to these lives\, enshrining and revering them\, he con siders how value is assigned and who gets remembered. \nThe title Fear Not appears in the work as both a phrase and a kind of instruction. It can be read in relation to the religious imagery that runs throughout the sculpt ures\, but it also takes on a more personal meaning. To look closely at li ves and objects that are easily dismissed is\, in its own way\, an act of resistance to that dismissal. \nAll are welcome to join us for the Artist ’s Reception\, September 26th. Stop by any time 1-4 pm to greet the arti st and enjoy the light refreshments. \nPlease also join us for the Artist ’s Talk with accompanying gospel choir performance by the Dr. George W.

We’ll cover measurements\, pattern adjustments\, fitting\, period sewing techniques\, trimming\, boning\, hand finishing\, and much more. \nIn the first session\, you will cover a brief overview o f the styles worn in the era.

Clay is shaped alongside t he logic of the digital image. Canvas and dye meet the infinite repetition s of the screen print. Hand-printed marks exist in dialogue with systems c apable of generating images in an instant.\nGates’ techniques accumulate in ways that resist a single point of origin. These iterations and this c yclical approach extend into ceramics and sculptural elements by bringing the work into three dimensional space and emphasizing the harmony between image\, object and environment.\nRather than positioning the analog and di gital as opposites\, Gates allows them to collide\, overlap and feed one a nother. The works become records of this exchange. In Without Sound\, Gat es asks us what happens when the handmade is subjected to the speed of tec hnology and what technology might reveal when slowed down\, re-used and tr anslated back into the physical world.\nPlease join us Saturday Sept.19th from 6-9p for an opening reception with the artist!\nUNTITLED vol.2 / 48 2 49th Street\, Oakland CA LAST-MODIFIED:20260904T001224Z URL:https://temescaldistrict.org/events/opening-reception-sara-gates-witho ut-sound/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=oakland-ca X-SOURCE-NAME:The Annual Taste of Temescal Culinary Tour X-SOURCE-URL:https://temescaldistrict.org/temescal-events/tasteoftemescal END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Alameda Legacy Home Tour DTSTART:20260920T170000Z DTEND:20260920T230000Z DTSTAMP:20260825T060505Z UID:4559-1789898400-1789920000@alamedamuseum.org CATEGORIES:arts DESCRIPTION:Join the Alameda Architectural Preservation Society on the 202 6 Alameda Legacy Home Tour!
