Oakland Museum Exhibits


Hello Everyone,
I went to see the Day of the Dead and I want to say that the show is amazing. The leather mosaic is incredible, the hand made books by students and teachers- you can pick them up and browse to see all the individual artwork- very inspiring or the extinct or endangered species by the Skyline students - egads all of it was absolutely incredible and I am not even mentioning the individual altars or the other installations... really incredible... I really liked the show!!!

There is also a show of LA artists with some incredible work by some low brow art- artists = Armando Lerma and Carlos Ramirez (who collaborate as The Date Farmers) who paint and collage on/with found objects; an interesting mix of pop culture and Mexican cultural icons, very cool.
