Love Our Island Art Walk:
Radical Beauty

Radical Beauty is the theme for the Rhythmix Love Our Island Art Walk Series – a two-year art-centric, creative placemaking project that features a diverse range of free public art events. Showcasing art installations in empty storefront windows, with free live music and dance performances presented on city streets, the project seeks to activate Alameda’s historic downtown and commercial districts.

Love Our Island Art Walks are supported by the California Arts Council and the City of Alameda, and the Downtown Alameda Business Association. The Love Our Island Art Walk Series seeks to elevate Alameda as a destination for the arts and engage locals and visitors to the island as part of that experience on select 2nd Fridays through May 2019.
