Join us at GearBox Gallery for an artistic showcase as we present an exhibition featuring sculpture by Linda Ellinwood, paintings by Diane Williams and a special inner room installation by Katayoun Bahrami. As part of the Visit Oakland Style Week, our gallery will also host a display highlighting the incredible talents of Oakland Technical High School Fashion students. This event not only celebrates the fusion of creativity and skill but also pays homage to the Fashion and Interior Design Academy’s commitment to nurturing young artists. Through hands-on projects, work-based instruction, and leadership development, the academy empowers students to embark on successful paths towards thriving careers in these burgeoning industries. This event is free and open to all.
