The Experience, Emeryville: Celebration of the Arts Last Days!
The Experience:
Discover the Artistic Kaleidoscope of Emeryville!
Join us in celebrating the closing days of The Celebration of the Arts’ 39th Emeryville Art Exhibition, a vibrant showcase of over 220 works by talented artists who reside or work in Emeryville. This diverse collection features a multitude of mediums, styles, perspectives and powerful expressions, capturing the heart and soul of our community.
Meet Sarah Kobrinsky, Poet Laureate of Emeryville (2013-2015), and immerse yourself in an afternoon of artistry and inspiration.
On Sunday, October 26, from 2 – 4pm, experience an unforgettable closing event—an evening of soul-stirring Poetry and Jazz. Enjoy the mesmerizing melodies of Ryan Pate and Dillon Vado, complemented by captivating poetry from participants of the Ekphrastic Workshop led by Sarah Kobrinsky.
Ekphrastic poetry involves interpreting, inhabiting, and engaging deeply with visual art—speaking to and about the artworks that have been part of the exhibition. Poets who took part in Sarah’s workshop on generative creative writing will share their own ekphrastic pieces inspired by the stunning collection of artworks.
Don’t miss this final chance to experience the synergy of visual, literary, and musical artistry—an evening designed to inspire, provoke, and celebrate the vibrant creativity of Emeryville!

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.’”
