South of Lake Merritt the city grid gives way to big institutions like the Oakland Museum of California, Laney College and the Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center. All are poorly connected to the lake, as well as one another, but a new initiative is exploring ways to tie these spaces together through art, design and events and reveal the area's wealth of hidden assets. Come learn more from those involved.
