First Fridays

Oakland is a great city for artists. There is a wide ranging, supportive community serving those of us that weld 20ft tall steel figurines, construct and personalize handmade jewelry and clothing, hot glue a pick up truck full of golf tees, or silkscreen posters in our dining rooms. One of the best local arts events is the "Art Murmur" taking place every first Friday of the month and giving local crafts people the opportunity to take their wares to the street and make a few bucks off all that hard work and toil.
