Oakland Art Library connects Bay Area art lovers with the vibrant local art scene through immersive events, a curated online gallery, and creative services. 100% of event art sales go directly to the artists.
For over five years, Oakland Art Library has been a home for local artists and the people who love what they create. What started as an art lending service has grown into something bigger: a platform for Oakland's creative community to connect, perform, exhibit, and thrive.
We produce immersive events that blend visual art, live music, live painting, and unforgettable atmospheres. We represent Oakland artists online and in person. And we bring art into businesses and spaces across the Bay Area.
Our events are immersive experiences: blacklight parties, live painting, DJ sets, live bands, and art for sale. Every one is different. None are boring.
