Compelling conversation at a cocktail party with artists who have something to say.

…and more artists to be announced!

Pro Arts is the place where artists find art in Oakland. We’re hosting this intimate event to encourage a creative exchange on the artist’s life. Enjoy an open bar, tasty treats, live music featuring DJ Eric Rukis, and mix and mingle with the artists present.

All proceeds directly support Pro Arts’ visual arts, artist services, and youth arts programs. We are extremely grateful to participating artists for generously donating their time in being present.”
