West End Arts District brings artists, audiences and ideas together through art in all shapes and sizes. We champion local artists, bring extraordinary art experiences to Alameda, and create the kind of ambitious, welcoming cultural life that makes our community more vibrant.

This summer, we’re aiming to raise $10,000 through ARTBEATS, our midyear fundraising campaign, to build on that momentum and help make more bold creative work possible.

Every gift — large or small, one-time or recurring — adds to the creative momentum. Your support gives us the confidence to plan ahead, support artists, take creative risks and keep dreaming up the unexpected experiences that have become a hallmark of West End Arts District.

You can also help by spreading the word and inviting others to join the growing circle of people who believe in this work. As a community-supported organization, every donation, conversation and new connection strengthens the foundation for what comes next.

Artist-led. Community-forward. Rooted in Alameda. Boundless in our ambition.
We are West End Arts District.

Local artists are heartbeat of our ARTBEATS campaign.

A huge thank you to local bands That Dad Band, The Up Set and Slide Dogs, who kicked off the campaign with a rocking Benefit Concert at the Fireside to raise our first $1,000. We’ll keep building the beat between now and October 2, when the campaign wraps with our Soirée and Art Auction Silent Auction Soirée.
