Oakland Center for the Arts

The Oakland Center for the Arts (hereafter OCA) exists as a catalyst for creative expression. As such, we present and foster diverse artistic vision. We are dedicated to the premise that the visual and performing arts will find both a voice and an audience at the OCA. The Oakland Center for the Arts is organized to provide a resource facility where diverse expressions of creativity by and for the community can occur. The Oakland is dedicated to the premise that theater, film, music, literature and the visual arts will find both a voice and an audience at the Center. Our purpose is to create a dialogue within our community about pertinent issues through a progressive theatre and gallery program; to provide outreach into underserved communities; and to provide area and regional artists with an alternative space to grow artistically.
