Support Grassroots Community Building! Support the EastSide Cultural Center EastSide Arts Alliance believes a critically important way to work for self-determination for Third World communities is to own a permanent cultural center. Here, artists, residents, youth and families come together for ongoing programs, to preserve traditions, invent new cultural expressions, and openly voice opinions about their local and global communities. There is no other space in Oakland where the predominantly Asian, Latino, Native and African American communities can share common ground to create a cultural dialogue of understanding and solidarity. The EastSide Cultural Center presents weekly performances and ongoing arts workshops with open rooms for music, dance, theater, multimedia and visual arts. The building also includes 16 affordable housing units, and has plans to host a library archive, a childrens center and a park.
