The Experience, Alameda: Rhythmix Cultural Works Opening Reception

The Experience:

What does a brighter future look like?

Local Bay Area artists envision a better tomorrow in this new exhibit, ‘O Say Can You See… the Soul of Our Nation’.

Join our friends at Rhythmix at their Opening Reception this Friday, July 10th at K Gallery inside Rhythmix | 6pm-8pm

Though it is free, they ask that you RSVP.

The image featured here is from Susan Bianchi Fiber Art , “The Tools We Need”. Fiber, digital printing.

‘Artists have always been at the center of the nation’s soul. They’ve told the truth when no one else would: of broken dreams and second chances; of ordinary people holding on to dignity in hard times; and, how to hold onto purpose when circumstances seem bleak. Artists are the catalysts with the power to move hearts, open eyes, and expand our potential to realize and continue to believe in what is possible.’ RCW

Hours Mon – Fri 10am-9pm

Cheers to 30 Years! 
In 1996, Mike and Anne Dashe did something a little bold: they started a winery… and got married in the same year. What began as a shared leap of faith has grown into three decades of winemaking, friendships, and a community they are deeply grateful for.

According to Anne & Mike Dashe, “It’s our way of saying thank you for being part of the journey. Raise a glass with us and stock up while the sale lasts!”

Good wine, good company. They hope to see you this weekend or next for the party!

About

Dashe Cellars is a family-owned artisan winery located in the heart of the Urban Wine Country at Alameda Point. After 15 years in Oakland’s Jack London Square district, Dashe Cellars moved to Spirits Alley on the old Naval Airbase in Alameda, CA.

They focus on crafting wines with a distinctive sense of place and look for that perfect balance of steep hillside vineyards, older vines, and vigor-reducing growing conditions.

Founded by Michael and Anne Dashe, Dashe Cellars crafted its first vintage of Dry Creek Zinfandel in 1996. Since that time, the Dashe’s have focused on producing exceptional, single-vineyard wines using a traditional, non-industrial approach to winemaking
