ARTPUSH

This last year ArtPush focused on getting back into the swing of things as community events opened back up and we have been busy!

This year we hosted Open Studios at Studio 23 Gallery, 3 Dot & thanks to Fireside and Yolanda Cotton Turner the Red Door is back open and joining in on all the festivities.

Over 2022 We…

Formed the Art Talk Committee where Victor Mavedzenge has interviewed hundreds of East Bay Artists. http://fridayartwalk.com/virtual-art-talks/

Printed our 3rd edition of the East Bay Artists 2022 Art Book! https://artpush.org/east-bay-art-book-about/

Help us keep things going! We can’t make it alone, that is why in 2019 we formed ArtPush.org with Sara Edge, Dave Sylvester, Wesley Warren, Jessica Warren & Cheryl Harawitz.

Our board has grown too!  We welcome to  the team Yolanda Cotton Turner as Director of Diversity and our Social Media Guru May Lo.  Over 2022 we also formed an official Art Talk committee that includes Victor Mavedzenge to the team.

Whether you donate $5 or $500. Every little bit helps. Thank you for your support. 

Artpush has partnered with Digifli Community Bulletin Boards to promote local artists in the East Bay. We feature work by local artists along with their contact information on digital bulletin boards throughout Alameda and Oakland. This exposes the community to new art from local artists which is at the core of our Mission.

We will be making this a standard part of all of the calls-for-art we do beginning in December 2022. In addition to just featuring art, Artpush will also be promoting local art events. If you are interested in getting something featured email the details to
