The K Gallery at Rhythmix Cultural Works offers a fantastic opportunity for artists and curators alike to produce their own shows. Rhythmix Cultural Works (RCW) is host to many Bay Area cultural events, and artists showing work in the K Gallery benefit from the wide and varied audiences that these events often bring. The K Gallery is a founding member of the Estuary Art Attack (now 2nd Fridays), a monthly Alameda/Jingletown art-walk that has tripled foot traffic in our area. RCW offers promotion its website and through an online newsletter, which reaches over 2500 subscribers each month. Artists who choose to self-produce also have the option to utilize our mailing list of over 1800 names in the Bay Area. Friendly RCW staff is on hand to offer guidance and support during installation and de-installation of your show. The K Gallery also offers a donation bar and bartender for the opening reception, taking the worry and hassle out of having to host your party. This leaves you free to chat and mingle with gallery patrons while adding a professional air to your show. Renting the K Gallery for a show is a wonderful way for emerging and seasoned artists alike to get the exposure they need while supporting the Arts at the same time. The K Gallery also produces its own group shows, and is committed to helping artists from our community and beyond to get the support and exposure they need by providing affordable submission fees and excellent promotion.
