The Experience, Emeryville: Celebration of the Arts Opening Night @ Public Market Tomorrow!

The Experience:

Immerse yourself in the Art Scene!

Celebrate Emeryville’s vibrant arts community!

You are invited to Opening Night of Emeryville’s 39th Annual Art Exhibition Friday, October 3, 6-9pm at 5905 Shellmound St in the Public Market. This juried art exhibition produced by Celebration of the Arts, features more than 200 artworks created by over 140 artists and craftspeople who live or work in Emeryville. On opening night you get to meet the artists and get a first look at their artwork as you listen to music by The doRiaN Mode: Vintage Jazz & Blues. A no-host bar raises funds for the Emeryville Youth Art Program. It’s always an electrifying opening night as the community celebrates the city’s thriving collective creativity.

This Annual Art Exhibition showcases the depth of talent and diverse artistic expression of both emerging and established artists. And now, the City of Emeryville has designated October 2025 as Arts & Culture Month and the 39th Annual Emeryville Art Exhibition – open throughout the month – will serve as a hub for creative exploration and participation. Arts & Culture Month kicks off with the Opening Night Reception and comes to a close with a poetry and music event hosted by Emeryville’s former Poet Laureate Sarah Kobrinsky on Sunday, October 26th in the exhibition courtyard.

“Thirty-nine years is a record breaking run for a small, largely volunteer arts organization,” said juror and exhibition designer Kathleen Hanna. “I am privileged to be a part of Emeryville Celebration of the Arts for the last fourteen years and always excited to see the variety and scope of the work produced in this very special community by the Bay.”

The exhibition is open October 4 – 26, 2024, from 11am to 6 pm, Wednesdays through Sundays at Public Market Emeryville, located at 5905 Shellmound Street, Emeryville, CA.  For details, directions, and Emery-go-round stop information, log onto www.emeryarts.org or call 510/652-6122.

Each year the exhibition space is donated by a local Emeryville business. For the fourth year in a row, Oxford Properties Group has generously offered the space for the Annual Exhibition at Public Market Emeryville. Situated at the south end of this lively artisan food destination, exhibition visitors will find ample parking and dining options and even a Saturday morning Farmer’s Market.

About Trader Vic’s + the Mai Tai

Decades ahead of his time, Vic ‘The Trader’ Bergeron chose to offer Chinese dishes alongside the then-contemporary Continental cuisine, creating maybe the original fusion menu. Today, Trader Vic’s continues the tradition and still uses the Chinese Wood-fired Ovens featuring dishes from the Mediterranean, the Middle East, Asia, and Japan. And, as we all know, Trader Vic’s claims to be home to the original Mai Tai.

According to the Trader, Vic Bergeron, “In 1944, after success with several exotic rum drinks, I felt a new drink was needed. I was at the service bar in my Oakland restaurant. I took down a bottle of 17-year-old Jamaican J. Wray Nephew rum, added fresh lime, some Orange Curaçao from Holland, a dash of Rock Candy Syrup, and a dollop of French Orgeat, for its subtle flavor. A generous amount of shaved ice and vigorous shaking by hand produced the marriage I was after. Half the lime shell went in for color, I stuck in a branch of fresh mint, and gave two of them to Ham and Carrie Guild, friends from Tahiti, who were there that night. Carrie took one sip and said, “Mai Tai – Roa Ae” In Tahitian means “Out of this World- The Best”. Well, that was that, I named the drink ‘Mai Tai.’”

(Victor Bergeron and Carrie Guild featured below in 1970)
