July 9 – August 15th. Blythe and Fresco share a similar journey of immigration\, the experience of which is ingrained in the process as well as the imagery of their work. Whether it’s personal items compiled into cultural forms or from memories carried across great distances\, past or present. \nDalit’s paintings draw personal memories from both real and imagined occurrences\, translating them into undeniable emotional views. Her investigations move from inward outward\, and from the specific towards wholeness. There is a longing that is inherently seeking cover\, shelter\, and solid ground. \nJan is unearthing similar longings by compiling\, assembling\, and weaving with both personal and found objects. These materials are seemingly mundane yet gain a new life\, form and meaning under her hands. The dialogue between the painted surfaces and the objects is synchronized in a shared language\, rhythm\, and symbol. \nGearbox Gallery is open Thursdays\, Fridays and Saturdays 12 – 5pm URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/fragments-of-belonging-at-gearbox-gallery/ LOCATION:Gearbox Gallery\, 770 West Grand Avenue\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United States CATEGORIES:Ongoing Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/IMG_2771.jpeg GEO:37.804829;-122.272476 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Gearbox Gallery 770 West Grand Avenue Oakland CA 94612 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=770 West Grand Avenue:geo:-122.272476,37.804829 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260711 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260809 DTSTAMP:20260707T113029 CREATED:20260614T200351Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260614T200351Z UID:10005205-1783728000-1786233599@oaklandartmurmur.org SUMMARY:Everything Must Go - Juried Group Show DESCRIPTION:Juror: Lisa Solomon\nArtists: Norman Aragones\, Malachi Arthur\, Jordan Benton\, Laurie Caird\, Madelyn Covey\, Dana DeKalb\, Eden Evans\, Elizabeth Evans\, Shelley Gardner\, Elena Godina\, Monica Guillory\, Corrine Hatt\, Rachel Katz\, Kathryn Kenworth\, Sarah Klein\, Suzy Kopf\, Faridah Laffan\, Jenifer Lake\, Patricia Liverman\, Heath Massey\, Colin McAllister\, Erin McCluskey Wheeler\, Manuel Rodriguez\, John Rogers\, Tammi Salas\, John Sheridan\, Maureen Shields\, Renetta Sitoy\, Jamie Smith\, Hannah Claire Somerville\, Jennifer Sturgill\, Michelle Sweeney-Fillmore\, Sarah Travis Buck\, Yana Verba\, Amy Vidra\, Bill Ward\, Martin Webb\, Jia Wilson\, and Alexander Yoshikawa \nManna Gallery is excited to present Everything Must Go\, our first juried group exhibition featuring artists from the greater Bay Area.
