Oakland has gained a global reputation as a center of art and creativity, but that kind of attention carries risks. Increases in the costs of residential and commercial real estate have left the city’s arts community vulnerable to displacement. Come hear how city officials, philanthropists and advocates are mobilizing to protect and nurture Oakland arts and culture for the long haul.
