SUMMARY:WOMEN IN CARS – new works by Erin McCluskey-Wheeler
DESCRIPTION:women\nin\ncars\nby\nErin McCluskey Wheeler \nopening at Mighty Mighty Studio\nApril 11th\nSaturday\n4:00 – 6:00 \nWomen in Cars \nis an ongoing series a decade in the making\, exploring escapism\, longing\, and the quietly unresolved moments of a woman’s inner life. Each painting begins with a vintage car advertisement\,  collaged directly onto the canvas\, \nbefore Erin paints a new and uncertain world around the driver. Where is she going? She may never arrive. And perhaps that is exactly the point. \nEach piece is presented in a vintage frame personally collected and paired by the artist\, making every work a singular and complete object.

SUMMARY:Wandering Stars: Young Artists’ Portrait Show
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition showcasing OUSD High School students’ artwork. There are four schools represented in this show\, which are: Fremont High\, Skyline High\, Oakland High\, Oakland International\, and Madison Park Academy.\nIdentity\, home\, and the power of unapologetic presence run through this youth portrait exhibition. OUSD artists worked in photography\, digital media\, collage\, and painting—using symbols\, brush strokes\, color\, texture\, and imagination to portray what it means to be Oakland.\nThe evidence is in the details: facial expressions that don’t perform for anyone\, the way they hold their loved ones\, the specific choices that make each portrait theirs.\nRepresentation matters here. These young artists are about to graduate\, about to enter a world outside high school. But first\, they’re making visible what they know about themselves—their beauty\, their identity\, the fact of who they are.\nWandering Stars is a celebration of beauty\, selfhood\, and identity. These artists don’t wait to be seen. They make themselves visible.

SUMMARY:Jeff Dikio: This Must Be the Place
DESCRIPTION:Jeff Dikio: This Must Be the Place\nApril 30 – June 13\, 2026 \nOpening Reception\, Saturday\, May 2nd\, 1-4 pm. \nIn This Must Be the Place\, Jeff Dikio reflects on the quiet spaces where memory\, environment\, and emotion intersect. Borrowing its title from the Talking Heads song\, the exhibition considers “place” not as a fixed location\, but as a feeling—something recognized in passing\, in fragments\, in moments of stillness. \nUsing paint chips in his collages\, Dikio reconstructs familiar “every day” scenes  into compositions that feel both grounded and unsettled. What emerges is a visual language of belonging\, where home is less about geography and more about resonance.” \nDikio is a Bay Area artist born in 1975 on Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines. Raised within a transient military culture\, he found early grounding in drawing and observation\, developing a lifelong sensitivity to place\, movement\, and change. \nIn his recent collages\, Dikio tries to capture the colorful and quirky architecture and scenes found in his immediate surroundings that are distinctive of the surrounding Bay Area. \nHe received his BA in Fine Arts from the University of California\, Santa Cruz in 1997\, and has since worked across figurative\, landscape\, and mixed-media practices.
