About this Event
Style means art, and Oakland has plenty of both. As part of Oakland Style Week, Oakland Art Murmur invites you on the Live Art Walk, a specially curated walking tour through Uptown Oakland's most vibrant art spaces, each one showcasing incredible work by local artists.
This is not your usual art tour. Art meets performance: dance, music, live art making, and more, woven right into the gallery experience. Enjoy snacks and beverages along the way, and get a rare chance to meet the artists and creative minds shaping Oakland's cultural landscape.
