As our inaugural show comes to an end, we hope you will join us for the Closing Reception. The evening will feature a stunning array of work by 12 Bay Area artists and marks your final opportunity to meet the artists, explore our new space, and experience firsthand the creative pulse that defines Oakland’s vibrant 25th Street arts corridor.

The Oakland arts community has given The Orchard a very warm welcome to the local art scene, and we are very grateful for this show of support!  Our inaugural exhibition has been on view since its debut on November 15, and we have loved welcoming many art lovers and collectors into the space.

We are thrilled to share that the exhibition has received three wonderful reviews — we invite you to click below to read them.
