Somewhere to Oakland Donors, Producing Partners, and Sponsors fill in the wind we lost with the withdrawal of our NEA project grant and recent reductions in local funding.
As a 34 year old Oakland-based arts non-profit the support of our donor community is critical to our ongoing strength of presence locally. Without individual support at a local level programs like Somewhere to Oakland are too few and far between. At a time when Oakland is slashing its cultural budget and the arts are under attack at a national level, the power of the people is more important than ever in giving the cultural vibrancy of The Town wings.
Your gift supports:
17 Public Arts Events over 3 weeks promoting belonging in Oakland
12 Lead Artists and 50+ participating and co-creating artists
Artist Residency in Downtown Oakland for thousands of locals and visitors to freely enjoy
Somewhere to Oakland is 100% free to attend thanks to the support of our lead funders at the Kenneth Rainin Foundation and CA Arts in Parks. This multi-week program promotes our local creative economy and provides multi-lingual, family-friendly arts, fully-accessible arts events for the hundreds of residents and visitors to Oakland moving through the Plaza this July. Your contributions will directly support our many Bay Area-based Somewhere to Oakland Artists and allow this project to soar.
Explore the giving options above and benefits received with each.
Donors at and over $500 will have access to the Rotunda Rooftop Birdseye Oasis, a respite and recharge space above the Plaza during our finale on July 26 for our key project stakeholders.
Donors over $1000 have access to our Somewhere to Oakland Concierge to provide personal recommendations and reminders for activities and events throughout Somewhere to Oakland.
All contributions to the Somewhere to Oakland Fund are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law. Whatever level you are at, we are so grateful to have your support in this unprecedented work for BANDALOOP and Oakland.
Thank you!
