BECOME A COMMUNITY HUB

As a Community Hub, your space would help support East Bay artists by providing exhibition opportunities—especially for those without access to a home studio. We are looking for art spaces, galleries, and community venues willing to host artists during EBOS Winter (December 6–7 & Dec 13–14).

What It Means to Be a Community Hub:

• Provide exhibition space for one or more artists during EBOS Summer and/or Winter (both weekends of the event)

• Support artists with exhibition setup and take down

• Host artists onsite during open hours (11 AM – 5 PM) so they can engage with visitors

• No commission collected on art sales

• Help promote the event and your participating artists through your own channels

• Optionally, be a location to provide marketing materials to EBOS visitors & artists starting a month before the event

What You’ll Receive in Return:

• Visibility & Promotion: Mentions in 4 OAM/EBOS emails and social media posts per event

• Brand Recognition: Your logo featured in printed marketing materials and on the EBOS website for a year

• Increased Foot Traffic: Introduce your space to new audiences and art enthusiasts before and during the event

If you’re interested—or know of other spaces that might be—please send an email to ebos@oaklandartmurmur.org to discuss this opportunity further.
