Live Art Walk

LIVE ART WALK 

Saturday, October 10, 2026 | Walking Tour | Oakland's Uptown | 11am to 2pm 

Style means art, and Oakland has plenty of both. As part of Oakland Style Week, Oakland Art Murmur invites you on the Live Art Walk, a specially curated walking tour through Uptown Oakland's most vibrant art spaces, each one showcasing incredible work by local artists.

This is not your usual art tour. Art meets performance: music, comedy, dance, poetry, woven right into the gallery experience. Enjoy snacks and beverages along the way, and get a rare chance to meet the artists and creative minds shaping Oakland's cultural landscape.
