Our events and programs offer new perspectives, spark conversation, and engage with the landscape we live in. West End Arts District's community programming continued to bring residents together through accessible, high-quality cultural events. The 8th Annual Blues, Brews & BBQ festival drew approximately 6,000 attendees and featured a diverse lineup of celebrated artists, including Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers and MJ's Brass Boppers. The event fostered strong community engagement, culminating in a popular second-line procession along Central Avenue. Complementing this large-scale event, WEAD hosted a series of three intimate "WEAD Salons," which provided smaller gatherings for community members to connect directly with local artists, deepen relationships, and share feedback. These salons strengthened community ties and expanded engagement with WEAD's mission. 60584 In 2025, West End Arts District expanded its climate-focused arts programming through two major initiatives designed to educate and inspire environmental stewardship. In Plain Site, an outdoor photography festival at Alameda Point, attracted over 3,000 visitors and showcased climate-focused visual storytelling. The program extended beyond the exhibition to include community events, speaker panels, workshops, and school engagement activities serving high school, middle school, and elementary students. In addition, WEAD produced DeepDive, an immersive performance event combining projection, music, and installation art to celebrate the ocean's beauty and raise awareness about marine conservation. Together, these programs engaged diverse audiences and encouraged community dialogue and action around climate issues 89831 West End Arts District supported local artists and arts access through fiscal sponsorship and programmatic assistance for two community-based organizations. Food Bank Players produced four theatrical performances featuring volunteer actors, raising funds for the Alameda Food Bank while providing accessible arts participation opportunities. Ozzy's Music Academy delivered music education for residents of all ages and partnered with Alameda Adaptive Arts to provide inclusive music and dance programming for individuals with disabilities. Through these partnerships, WEAD extended its mission by supporting artist development, expanding access to arts education, and fostering inclusive cultural participation 150415 Tara Pilbrow Executive Dir. 20.00 43336 Yakaira Nuez Director 2.00 0 Rachel Campos de Ivanov President 4.00 0 Nick Winkworth Director 2.00 0 Michael Towne Secretary 2.00 0 Jessica Xiomara Garcia Director 2.00 0 Bernard Snow Treasurer 2.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false CA Joanna Lau 218 Brush St Apt L Alameda CA 94501 4153098565 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 131423 143379 158489 281363 142684 857338 0 0 131423 143379 158489 281363 142684 857338 210828 646510 0 0 291 999 3269 57470 38414 100443 957781 4646 0.67500 0.67480 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $4175 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $3541 Other Expenses.1003 Information Technology $1556 Other Expenses.1007 Conferences, Conventions, and Meetings $135 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $2145 Other Expenses.1 Collaborative project payment $16666 Other Expenses.2 Equipment rental and expenses $8327 Other Expenses.3 Event services & costs $1000 Total Liabilities.1001 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses - Beginning $4220 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses - Ending $2654
