hi everyone!
the merchants of the 40th street corridor would like to thank you so very much for coming out to ART QUEST 2 last month! we had an awesome evening with lots of incredible local art on display. many of the shows are still going on, so if you did not get a chance to take in all of the art, feel free to stop by our shops to get a closer look!
we would like to thank our friend obi kaufmann, who so graciously curated the event and worked very hard to make the whole night happen. his blog, SWEE[t]ART, has an awesome recap of all of the shows--we hope you will check it out!
meanwhile, we are super excited to announce the winners of our ART QUEST 2 Treasure Hunt raffle! As you all know, anyone who completed their art quest and made it to each shop on the night of the openings was entered into a drawing to win fabulous prizes from all of the participating businesses. a super official drawing was held and here are the winners (!!!!):
if you are a lucky winner, feel free to stop by the participating stores during business hours to pick up your prize! check out the websites above for more information on store hours and locations.
while we are here, we also would like to welcome SUBROSA COFFEE to the 40th street corridor! we hope you will stop by soon to have a cup of locally, sustainably produced coffee while out and about in the neighborhood!
and finally, we would like you to put saturday, december 12th on your calendar! the small businesses of the 40th street corridor (founders of ART QUEST) will be uniting again for a festive night of local art, local goods, and local community. we want to make it as easy as possible for you to shop local this holiday season, so we will be hosting simultaneous holiday parties and featuring locally produced items with enticing specials for one night only. SAVE! THE! DATE! SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12TH!!!!
thank you all so much again for supporting local oakland art and your local shops along the 40th street corridor. we hope you will stop by and visit each of us very very soon!
xoxo from your friends at 1-2-3-4 Go Records, ISSUES, Manifesto, Premium, Rowan Morrison, and Subrosa!
