On November 15th, we have a unique chance to meet the artists behind the beloved Mrs Vera: David Faulk and Michael Johnstone.

We had so much fun at Sunday's WEAD Art Salon Series! Thank you to everyone who joined us for high tea, artist talk, and to have some fun with clay. This monthly series is so special for bringing Alameda's art-loving community together and for spotlighting artists' stories and their craft.

We'll drop a few photos here of "Exploring Ceramics with Janet Taylor" from
this past Sunday, October 18. Don't miss the upcoming Salons... head to westendartsdistrict.org/salons to learn more and/or RSVP. We have the themes of up-cycling fashion, murals, and culinary art!

Love this: "Alameda’s creative culture isn’t emerging. It’s been here, building slowly and stubbornly in libraries, garages, historic buildings, breweries, small businesses, and borrowed spaces." Thanks for showing the Island cultural scene some love Broke-Ass Stuart

Island life brimming with 12 hours of classic cars, short fiction, architecture, art, food, music, and one very Alameda zine party.

A very special Halloween-themed 🎃 WEAD Art Salons Series is happening THIS SUNDAY, and there are a few seats still open! Create a mini-monster from clay for your Halloween door decoration, trick-or-treat candy bowl, or whatever you can dream up! Take it next level and add some dry ice and/or candles for effect! Get creative! All skill (and no skill) levels welcome!

The WEAD monthly salon series is an opportunity to meet a local artist, hear their story and learn about their craft, and then engage in some creative and fun way while you're inspired. Audience sizes are small to encourage conversation and connection, plus drinks and light bites are provided by the WEAD team.

Don't miss this month! Meet Janet Taylor of Bay Haven Ceramics Studio • Sunday, October 18 • 3-6pm. Hear her story, her pathway into ceramics, and the adventures of opening the studio.
