INSPIRING COMMUNITIES.
TRANSFORMING SPACES.

West End Arts District is a community-led initiative to foster and celebrate the performing and visual arts in the West End of Alameda.

The West End Arts District’s annual fundraising campaign inspired and fueled by local musicians and visual artists is in full swing. Help us raise $10,000 to support arts programming in the West End of Alameda.

Donate today and attend our upcoming ArtBeats Soirée & Auction on October 2 at The Yard at Saltbreaker.
