INSPIRING COMMUNITIES.
TRANSFORMING SPACES.

West End Arts District is a community-led initiative to foster and celebrate the performing and visual arts in the West End of Alameda.

Eyes on the Future

Help us raise $10,000 to fund our 2025 fall programming.

A Call to Action! West End Arts District needs your support to keep our Eyes on the Future. With federal funding for the arts vanishing and state support shrinking, the lifeblood of our community-based programming now rests in the hands of those who believe in the power of creativity to shape change—you. We remain committed to providing inclusive, dynamic, and locally rooted arts experiences, and we know you share our vision for a vibrant, resilient, and art-filled future.
