DeepDIVE

A multimedia journey of wonder, urgency and oceanic awe!

DATE

Saturday, November 8

ADMISSION:

Free, All Ages

LOCATION:

REAP Center
2133 Tynan Ave, Alameda

We invite you to experience DeepDIVE. Immerse yourself in an artistic world inspired by the sights and sounds of the deep sea. In this first chapter of DeepDIVE – West End Arts District’s latest climate arts venture – we celebrate the boundless mystery of the oceans that surround us.

As a coastal community, ocean waves frame our everyday existence, but few of us have any great knowledge of the diversity of life that exists beneath those waves and the vital role that ocean conservation plays in sustaining life on earth. That is about to change.

Stay tuned for more event details, including the RSVP link and specific hours.

DeepDIVE is a 2-year creative project led by a stellar team of local artists:
