The Oakland Asian Cultural Center (OACC) was founded in 1984 by a coalition of volunteers who recognized the need for a strong artistic and cultural force in the Chinatown area. Since opening its own facility in 1996 in the heart of Oakland's Chinatown district, the OACC has presented countless high quality cultural programs including performances, workshops, festivals, school tours, classes, and exhibitions. OACC builds vibrant communities through Asian and Pacific Islander American (APIA) arts and culture programs that foster intergenerational and cross-cultural dialogue, cultural identity, collaborations, and social justice.
Past Exhibitions
GREENLINING INSTITUTE, SEEDCORN GALLERY
Juried group exhibition
Reception: Thursday, September 10, 2009 (6-9p)
Exhibition: September 10, 2009 - January 10, 2010
Seed Corn is an arts initiative program funded by the Greenlining Insitute. In Greenlining’s own research and advocacy, we speak the language of policy to articulate and act upon the social justice issues affecting California’s diverse communities. Yet art as a means for communicating the ideals of social justice transcends linguistic and cultural barriers, as well as time. Greenlining’s Community Arts Initiative through the Seed Corn Gallery is our way of acknowledging the debt that social justice movements all over California and the nation owe to the artists that have given it life.
