Stop by anytime between 1 and 4 pm to greet tartist Frank Cole and enjoy the light refreshments and conversations as you check out the artwork. \nAlso on hand will be Kristie Hansen\, whose work is showing in concurrent solo exhibition\, “Alternation.” \nLook for the “ART” building on West Grand Ave. in Oakland\, between Brush and West. While you’re in the area\, check out GearBox Gallery just downstairs. With two galleries in the building this is a great place to see art. \nTransmission Gallery is pleased to present The House Inside\, recent paintings by East Bay painter\, Frank D. Cole. \nWorking from his West Oakland studio\, Frank Cole’s large-scale works emerge from reflections on his childhood home in Mississippi\, with landscape\, weather\, and architecture forming an enduring visual vocabulary. In this work\, Mississippi becomes less a fixed geography than a felt condition\, a stand-in for memory and connection\, suspended between clarity and dream. \nFramed by porches\, window casings\, and thresholds\, Cole’s paintings position the viewer in an interior space\, looking outward. Beams\, panes\, and floorboards divide and measure the picture plane acting as armatures for recollection\, holding in place fleeting impressions of light on water\, wind through tall grass\, or rain dissolving a stand of trees. The result is both architectural and narrative\, emerging as contemplations on place and time\, imbued with reverie and longing. \nAccompanying the large canvases are small preparatory studies that reveal the evolution of each composition. In these works\, Cole tests structure\, color temperature\, and shifting atmospheres. The studies function as distilled meditations—intimate rehearsals for the expansive paintings—where gesture and light are first discovered before being scaled to immersive proportions.

We are questioning our values\, beliefs\, and education. Our national leaders prove to be untrustworthy\, as the media feeds misleading narratives. Our history feels as uncertain as our future. We are having difficulty finding common ground\, the truth\, and what we stand for. Conflict is everywhere. Everyone is asking themselves: “Who Am I?” \nArtist Bio:\nChoctaw\, Viking\, AVChancellor\, Governmental Relations\, emerita. Highlights: national award for bringing together 60 art departments\, creating 125 life-size statues showing how budget cuts negatively impact access and opportunity\, democracy and upward mobility; European Cultural Centre’s Venice Biennale: “Who Are We?”; Spotlight Artist for Richmond Art Center\, “Vulnerability;” “Clay Sustains: Vessels of Change” Palo Alto Art Center. \nPlato Smith’s grandfather was born on the Choctaw Reservation and her orphaned grandmother was born to immigrant parents from Denmark and Sweden. Migration\, immigration\, resettlement and environment/wildlife are key themes that resonate through her creative practice and professional work. She is very committed to acknowledgement of ALL LIFE. Her mother\, Lee Plato Smith\, educated at California School of Fine Arts\, taught her to draw off the edge and never be afraid of making mistakes. \nMarch 6th – 28th\, 2026\nFirst Friday reception: March 6th 5-10pm \nHours:\nSaturdays 1-5pm\nEvery first Friday of the month 5-9pm\notherwise by appointment URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/who-am-i/ LOCATION:FM Gallery\, 483 25th Street\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United States CATEGORIES:Art Walk,Ongoing Exhibitions,Opening Reception ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Leslie-Flyer-ImageOnly-Portrait.jpg GEO:37;-122 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=FM Gallery 483 25th Street Oakland CA 94612 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=483 25th Street:geo:-122,37 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260306T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260306T200000 DTSTAMP:20260417T021321 CREATED:20260205T061906Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260205T061906Z UID:10004192-1772816400-1772827200@oaklandartmurmur.org SUMMARY:Open First Friday: One Thing Leads to Another -- Gina Borg & Patrick Crotty DESCRIPTION:Join us for the First Friday art walk in Uptown Oakland! Up now\, One Thing Leads to Another\, is a two-person exhibition featuring Oakland-based painter Gina Borg and San Leandro–based artist and designer Patrick Crotty. Bringing together painting and marquetry\, the exhibition highlights two distinct practices shaped by close attention to materials\, process\, and the evolving language of making.

Her work explores how color behaves in relationship\, using a limited palette of warm and cool shifts layered through repetitive marks to create subtle tonal changes that generate movement\, spatial tension\, and optical vibration across the surface. \nPatrick Crotty is an artist with experience bridging fine art and applied design. Raised in Chicago and now based in San Leandro\, his practice is informed by a background in product and furniture design. He works in traditional marquetry\, precisely assembling thin wood veneers to “paint” with natural grain\, tone\, and texture\, transforming a centuries-old craft into detailed contemporary imagery. \nTogether\, their work creates a dialogue between gesture and construction\, surface and structure\, where each decision leads to the next and the process becomes a visible chain of connections. \nFebruary 21 – March 28\, 2026\nArtist Reception: Saturday\, February 28\, 2-4 pm\nGallery Hours: Saturdays\, 12-5 pm & First Friday\, March 6\, 5-8 pm URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/artists-reception-gina-borg-patrick-crotty/ LOCATION:Manna Gallery\, 473 25th St.\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United States CATEGORIES:Artists Talk,Opening Reception ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Screenshot-2026-02-04-at-9.44.14-PM-scaled.png GEO:37.8144;-122.2672 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Manna Gallery 473 25th St. Oakland CA 94612 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=473 25th St.:geo:-122.2672,37.8144 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260221 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260329 DTSTAMP:20260417T021321 CREATED:20260205T060412Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260205T060417Z UID:10004190-1771632000-1774742399@oaklandartmurmur.org SUMMARY:One Thing Leads to Another -- Gina Borg & Patrick Crotty DESCRIPTION:Manna Gallery presents One Thing Leads to Another\, a two-person exhibition featuring Oakland-based painter Gina Borg and San Leandro–based artist and designer Patrick Crotty.

Inside these paintings\, her daughters and their friends have been growing up before our eyes. Now the girls are older. They are not little girls. They are teenagers. Ferrouge’s teens are not exactly what you might expect. They are not the weak\, crazy\, second class we often negatively associate with “teens”. They have the strength\, dignity\, and psychological presence that she has always shown us in her paintings of girls. They are still the “women-to-be” that you could always see simmering below the surface of these determined and confident characters. \nThese works are a mother’s view of her teens: their lounging around\, napping frequently\, and the quiet social understanding between the them. You can feel the unique and tight knit bond-especially connecting the girls- and the looks they give you when you catch them in that sacred space. “When you enter the gallery and stand in front of one of these scenes\, you are present in their space\, but you are not part of their circle.” –Ferrouge\nThis is a well established thread in Ferrouge’s work. After the Costume Party (2019)\, Desert Picnic (2020)\, After the Fires (2021)\, Watching/Waiting (2023)\, and Girls in the Mirror (2024) all give the viewer the feeling that you are in their space. The artist first observed exclusivity and girl power in her daughters and their little friends when they were just 5 and 6 years old\, which inspired The Huddle (Ferrouge\, 2016). To Ferrouge’s surprise\, many young men found that painting scary. \n“[Ferrouge] portrays complex humans\, not cute\, one-dimensional beings; her paintings are seriously insightful images…”\nBetty Ann Brown\, PhD \n“…painter Christine Ferrouge\, whose ongoing portraiture practice engages a particular thread of art history in which women paint women\, girls\, and girls on the cusp of womanhood—celebrating their insider’s perspective on subject’s inner lives\, and their outsider’s perspective on the culture that surrounds them.”\n–Shana Nys Dambrot\, Art Critic\nLos Angeles\, 2024 \nIn contrast to the seven feet high oil paintings that dominate the room\, Ferrouge also has small works that capture the gestural\, figurative narratives on an intimate scale. Since beginning to paint and exhibit some small paintings last year\, they have become popular and easy to collect.\nPlease visit the gallery to experience this work in person: \nGearBox Gallery\n770 West Grand Ave.\nOakland\, CA 94612\n510-290-9660\ninfo@gearboxgallery.com\ngearboxgallery.com\nThursdays\, Fridays\, and Saturdays noon-5pm URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/three-girls/ LOCATION:Gearbox Gallery\, 770 West Grand Avenue\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United States CATEGORIES:Opening Reception ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/ThreeGirls.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Gearbox Gallery":MAILTO:info@gearboxgallery.com 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;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260117T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260117T160000 DTSTAMP:20260417T021321 CREATED:20260103T065337Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260103T065337Z UID:10004120-1768658400-1768665600@oaklandartmurmur.org SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Wayne Armstrong - Between Here and There DESCRIPTION:Meet Oakland-based artist Wayne Armstrong at the opening reception of Between Here and There at Manna Gallery.

From his early murals in North Beach with artist Billy Weber to encounters with iconic figures in Barcelona’s Plaza Real Klaas’s colorful journey unfolded on canvas. \nKlaas studied at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland before venturing to Barcelona in 1972 where he dove into surrealism. It was here that Klaas meet both Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso exploring this art form with the masters. \nPsychedelics played a significant role in the creation of many of Klass’s work allowing him to zero in on color and shapes. He also identified with Van Gogh as both struggled with their ability to harness the realities of life. As a testament that art saves lives\, Klaas explained that revisiting his issues through art helped him to find solutions. \nTony Klaas passed away in 2025.
