Text reads 'Western Art Beads' with a heart symbol in place of the 'o' in 'Love', styled with distressed font on a black background.

We are so grateful to the artist community of the west end and beyond for donating their time and talent to supporting West End Arts District. The 2025 Artbeats Benefit Concert and Silent Auction together raised almost $5000 in support of our programs!

Dates will be announced soon for the 2026 events. If you are interested in supporting WEAD by performing or donating art work for the auction reach out to tara@westendartsdistrict.org.

Thank you to The Fireside Lounge and Saltbreaker for hosting us!

2025

ARTBEATS SOIRÉE & ART AUCTION

Cocktails, Groovy Beats, and Fine Art

DAY/TIME:

OCT. 3, 2025 • 5:30-7:30PM

LOCATION:

THE YARD AT SALTBREAKER
2350 SARATOGA ST, ALAMEDA

Join us for a delicious cocktail (or two), the joyous beats of DJ Kula Baker, and an eclectic collection of fine art at the Yard at Saltbreaker. What better way to celebrate the start of the weekend than a cocktail, art, music, good vibes, and stunning sunset mashup?

Come to simply enjoy a lovely evening and admire the art - or - you’re invited to place your bid in the Silent Art Auction for a chance to go home with a stunning new piece for your collection. Thanks to the support of a wonderful community of artists, we are excited to share a diverse selection of work by local and national artists.

Online bidding is now open and will close at the end of the evening on Friday, October 3. New pieces will be added to the auction throughout the month of September.

The Yard at Saltbreaker is the latest patio extension of the immensely popular Saltbreaker restaurant in Alameda Point. As the name suggests, we'll be outdoors, so dress for the weather. Your ticket includes one free house cocktail (or mocktail) and there is a delicious menu of bites/mains if all that admiring of art works leaves you feeling hungry.

All proceeds from the event go to support the free arts programs of West End Arts District.
