SUMMARY:Closing Reception: Wayne Armstrong - Between Here & There
DESCRIPTION:Join Manna Gallery for a Valentine’s Day closing reception celebrating Between Here and There\, an exhibition of paintings by beloved Oakland artist Wayne Armstrong. Rooted in a lifelong fascination with the California landscape\, Armstrong’s recent works explore the space between memory and lived experience through color\, pattern\, and spatial rhythms unique to the region. Infused with warmth\, humor\, and imagination\, the paintings reflect an enduring curiosity and deep appreciation for place. As Armstrong notes\, “How lucky am I to always find something in these environments to inspire me.” Spend the afternoon surrounded by art\, community\, and a little Valentine’s Day love. \nBetween Here and There – Wayne Armstrong\nJanuary 10 – February 14\, 2026\nClosing Reception: Saturday\, February 14\, 2-4 pm\nGallery Hours: Saturdays\, 12-5 pm & First Fridays\, 5-8 pm

SUMMARY:Open First Friday: Built Different - Gina Gaiser
DESCRIPTION:Built Different is a black-and-white photography series by Gina Gaiser that examines the logic embedded in the urban landscape. Focusing on brickwork\, graffiti\, industrial surfaces\, and architectural grids\, Gaiser isolates fragments of the built environment and reframes them as studies in repetition\, contrast\, and form. Stripped of color\, the images emphasize structure and rhythm\, allowing overlooked details to surface with clarity. When assembled\, the photographs converge into larger visual systems\, revealing order within what might otherwise register as visual noise. Built Different reflects on construction in multiple senses\, of cities\, of environments\, and of perception itself\, proposing that heightened attention to pattern and geometry is not deviation\, but insight. \nApril 3 – May 9\, 2026\nArtist Reception: Saturday\, April 11\, 3-5 pm\nGallery Hours: Saturdays\, 12-5 pm & First Fridays\, April 3 & May 1\, 5-8 pm

SUMMARY:Artist Reception: Gina Gaiser - Built Different
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the reception of Built Different\, a series of black-and-white urban studies that examines the constructed world through a distinctly attuned lens. In these photographs\, Gina Gaiser documents brick facades\, graffiti\, industrial textures\, and architectural grids—evidence of how humans have reshaped and engineered their environment. Working in monochrome\, she strips away distraction to foreground repetition\, geometry\, and contrast. Individual images are brought together to form converging patterns\, reflecting a way of seeing that gravitates toward structure and system. What may appear chaotic or incidental resolves into rhythm and order. In Built Different\, the title operates on multiple levels: the city is built\, the environment is built\, and the mind observing it is built differently. The work suggests that difference in perception is not a flaw but a precision\, and an ability to recognize pattern\, coherence\, and design embedded within the grit of the everyday. \nBuilt Different\nNew Work by Gina Gaiser\nApril 3 – May 9\, 2026\nArtist Reception: Saturday\, April 11\, 3-5 pm\nGallery Hours: Saturdays\, 12-5 pm & First Fridays\, April 3 & May 1\, 5-8 pm

SUMMARY:Opening Reception - Jeff Dikio: This Must Be the Place
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception\, Saturday\, May 2nd\, 1-4 pm\nConcurrent with the Opening Reception for Sonia Gill: Memento Vivere / Remember to Live\, also at Transmission Gallery at 770 West Grand Ave in Oakland. \nAll are welcome so please join us to greet the artist\, enjoy the light refreshments and check out Jeff Dikio’s recent colorful paint chip collages celebrating Bay Area neighborhoods. \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.” \nJeff Dikio 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.
