Town Park In Oakland
It’s fall in the bay, and as usual, everyone’s blessed with sun and an abundance of music and art events. As the Oakland art scene continues to grow with events like Art Murmur,—and the rising rent in S.F. pushing artists out of the city— local contributors teamed up with the Youth Speaks organization to throw together a yearly event for the locals.
