🎨 Art of the African Diaspora

AOTAD @Studio 23, Resistance Press 510 and Ryan LaLonde Studios will be bringing this back to Alameda 2025! Feb/March:

AOTAD @Alameda Island Brewing: Jan/Feb / March/April

AOTAD @ Fireside Lounge: Jan/Feb / March/April

🎨 2nd Fridays; Art Meetups. These meetups will be art related. We may have live demos, art projects and/or lessons & more, but the primary focus at ArtPush will be on creating art and raising grant money to improve programming.

Studio 23 Gallery Exhibits: We will still display local artist works for sale. Periodically, we will also have traditional artist opening receptions.

Due to lower donations, grant awards and sponsor support in 2024, ArtPush is scaling back a few annual events so we have more time to focus on raising funds to bring back even better events and art workshops in the future.

As of right now The Alameda Art Fair and The BlackLight Art Show will both be on hold until 2026 or 2027.

We will do our best to keep you informed! Check back for new events and check out Meetup.com/Alameda Artists for upcoming workshops, meetups and classes. (More to be posted soon!)

Call For Art Immersive/Interactive Installation

Immersive or Interactive Art Exhibit SF Bay Area, California:
Request for Proposal.

ArtPush.org (aka Studio 23) is working on a plan for a multi-room, multi-artists, interactive, immersive art exhibit space in Alameda, CA. We are in the early stages of creating a budget and plan. We would like to gauge interest and explore feasibility.

If you aren’t familiar with Studio 23 and ArtPush, we are a Alameda based artists-run nonprofit who has been putting on regular events in Alameda since 2013 (and long before in other parts of the country). We have a lot of experience in this area and we feel very confident that it can be successful.

The loose theme is currently “Step into another dimension”. There will be rooms with all black light, rooms with immersive video, giant LED sculptures, walls filled with video screens, giant sculptures, etc.

We want to get a space up and running, sell tickets, and share the proceeds among the exhibiting artists.

We are looking for exciting and dynamic artists (teams or individuals) who would like to create a room, an experience, a installation, whatever you think would be good in a giant art funhouse from another dimension.

We are working on raising money and applying for grants. We do not have an endowment so cost will be a factor when deciding what exhibits to install. We have a lot of plans for fundraising, but a proof of concept will go a long way.

Exhibits must be complete before installation! Artists will have a window of one week max to move and assemble an exhibit in the assigned space. We will have a team of volunteers and staff that will assist with installing exhibits. That reminds me: ?subject=Volunteers">we need volunteers to assist artists installing exhibits.

We believe we can create something amazing and magical. Something real and unreal at the same time. A new dimension where one can step inside and experience a different reality, if only for a couple hours.
