Event

Vessels

VESSELS is the latest event creation by Local Social, in collaboration with Chris French Metal and Swarm Gallery. Our goal is to call attention to the prolific artistic community in Oakland. The event will explore and challenge people to think about how they use and experience vessels in their daily lives through art, music, space and food.

Guests will be able to engage with featured artists and interact with one another and the artwork (by walking around the installations and partaking in the entertainment, having conversations with the artists, eating and drinking around the artwork and also from handmade vessels provided by the artists).

We will be holding demonstrations and activities during the event and throughout the weekend, so participants can get as involved as they are comfortable with (hence our goal of making art more approachable).

Local Social is partnering with many wonderful and dynamic artists, chefs and organizations in the Bay Area including:

Ann Weber installation artist

Whitney Smith, ceramicist

Sara Paloma ceramicist

Melissa Kaseman photographer

Creative Growth

Caleb Jones chef

Maggie Weber-Striplin chef

Uriah Duffy, bassist and musician

Max McVeety, drummer and musician

Summer Makovkin, photographer

Greg Goodman, photographer

We hope that this will be the beginning of an ongoing series of art events in Oakland and the Bay Area. Our goal is to engage the local community in a new way that is approachable and open for everyone and most of all...fun!

We hope you are interested in joining us. Tickets are on sale until Monday, June 20th, so be sure to get tickets soon!
