You are invited to our re-opening fundraising gala! It has been a long journey to finally reopen, but we are ready to host you with style, elegance, notch performers, tasty treats and an enthusiastic crowd, it’s sure to be a good time as well as. You deserve this.
As many of you know, after having enjoyed the blessed journey of being open for four years (we initially opened at the Marin Gateway Mall in March of 2020- at the beginning of the COVID Crises. Sadly, we had to close our doors at the beginning of 2024 to make way for a new market rate tenant.
However, motivated by community support for our mission and vision, we remained resilient in the face of adversity and chose to re-open as a market rate tenant ourselves. That choice, has been both high and low. But worth it.
The gallery features fair trade coffee from Ethiopia, and the Cameroon, Chocolate, manufactured in the United States, sourced from the Motherland. Honeybush Tea from Zimbabwe, local fashions and accessories, the high quality, “Made in Africa” brand fabric label, and of course, amazing art from our local artist Collectives. All that is on sale on our Gallery/Retail Side.
Topping it off, we continue (actually we never stopped) offering our community services: Work Empowerment Intern Program, Spanish as a Second Language Workshop for youth and adults, music appreciation, and our Cultural Ambassadorship leadership programs continue in addition to so much more, in our beautiful, inspired, new space.
Our re-opening begins NOW with a FUNDRAISER to generate much needed funds as we continue to serve our artists and provide our community with a safe, comfortable space to gather, create, be inspired and shop local.
