SUMMARY:Ultrahive4
DESCRIPTION:For August and September we are excited to feature UltraHive 4; a traveling art show with over 100 artists making original cd cover art! This vibrant and eclectic exhibition showcases artists from around the globe\, each contributing unique works that explore the CD cover as both canvas and concept. From reimagined album art to sculptural pieces crafted from actual CD cases\, the show celebrates the cultural legacy of physical media while pushing the boundaries of contemporary art. By transforming these once-ubiquitous objects into personal and provocative expressions\, the artists revive nostalgia\, challenge format\, and reframe the way we view music\, memory\, and material. Together\, their works create a dynamic visual mixtape that pays homage to the golden age of the compact disc—remixed for a new era. \nUltraHive 4 has recently shown at the Hive Gallery in Los Angeles. After showing here at FM Oakland\, it will then travel to Japan for display at the Tokyo Designfesta Gallery. Enjoy while it’s here with us today!  \n“Ultrahive4”\nAugust 7th – September 26th\, 2026\nArt Murmur Receptions:\nFriday\, August 7th\, 5-10pm\nFriday\, September 4th\, 5-10pm

SUMMARY:Hannah Franco: Poiesis
DESCRIPTION:SLATE is pleased to present Hannah Franco: Poiesis\, a solo exhibition of new paintings by abstract artist Hannah Franco. Featuring ten new paintings\, Hannah Franco brings her once-hidden washes of color forward as the true subject of the work\, revealing a self that had long lived quietly beneath the surface. Honoring the power of softness and vulnerability\, Franco pays tribute to the often invisible and systemically undervalued domestic labor and love women have long contributed to their communities. \nFranco earned a BFA from Pratt Institute in New York City and studied fresco painting in Florence\, Italy\, now currently living and working in Oakland\, California. She has shown with Oxide Collective in San Francisco and is represented by SLATE Contemporary Gallery in Oakland. \nOpening Reception: September 12\, 4-6pm\nHannah Franco: Poises is on view at SLATE from September 4-October 3\, 2026. \nSLATE Contemporary Gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11am-5pm.

SUMMARY:Intimations of Ignition - Selena Scott
DESCRIPTION:opening at MIGHTY MIGHTY STUDIO\nOct 2nd 5:00 – 8:00pm\nin conjunction with Nexus and MOAD.  \nSelena Scott’s work explores Black identity through themes of Afropessimism\, colonialism\, and the enduring structures that shape contemporary understandings of Blackness.\nbio:  Selena Scott is a British artist and graduate of the Slade School of Fine Art\, based in San Francisco. Her research-led practice examines colonial memory\, the formation of identity through history\, and the afterlives of Caribbean exploitation. Working primarily across oil painting and textiles\, Scott brings portraiture\, symbolism and archival research together to examine the relationship between rage and repair. Her work seeks to redefine the portrayal of Black subjects within a medium historically used to perpetuate Western ideals.\nIMG_2997.jpeg

SUMMARY:Under The Thumb
DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition at Werkshack Studios brings together four artists to explore themes of oppressive systems\, power\, and control through glass and mixed media. \nWorking across diverse techniques including fusing\, painting\, stained glass\, cast glass and more\, each artist brings a distinct perspective to the ways power shapes our lives and communities. Glass becomes both medium and metaphor: beautiful yet fragile\, transparent yet obstructive\, resilient yet vulnerable. Together\, the works examine how systems of power are experienced differently across individuals and groups\, inviting us to consider who holds power\, who is affected by it\, and what it means to resist\, endure\, or transform it. \nArtists: Elin Christopherson\, Lynne-Rachel Altman\, Cricket\, Anne Wong \nGallery Hours: Saturday\, 1 – 5 pm (and by appointment)\nArtists’ Reception: Saturday\, September 19th\, 5 – 7pm \nOakland Art Murmur / First Friday: Friday\, September 4th and October 2nd\, 5:30 – 9:30 pm

SUMMARY:Angela Johal: Intersecting Colour
DESCRIPTION:Join us at SLATE Contemporary Gallery on Saturday\, October 10 from 4-6pm for an artist reception in celebration of our newest exhibition\, “Angela Johal: Intersecting Colour.” \nThis exhibition invites viewers to explore how hue and tone interact across vividly painted color fields. Johal approaches each painting as a puzzle to solve\, seeking balance among dichotomous realms—physical and spiritual\, light and dark\, vivid and subdued—creating compositions that reveal how each color shifts\, responds to\, and is transformed by those around it. Steeped in color theory\, Johal’s work is deeply informed by the human eye’s natural passage through dimension. This exhibition features abstracted geometric compositions that\, when meditated on\, transform into natural landscapes\, animal-like forms\, and shifting light.
