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

The Experience, Alameda: Rhythmix Cultural Works New Exhibit

The Experience:

Views of Democracy: Gratitude and Hope for the Future

“Views of Democracy is the culmination of more than a year of work to identify and curate a visual art exhibition that celebrates democracy,” says curator and founder of Citizen Joy, Jeff Raz. “Conceptualized during 2024, most of the planning for Views of Democracy took place during an election year. We knew that – regardless of the outcome in November – our country needs an informed and engaged citizenry. Our goal was to encourage a deeper collective commitment to learn about and participate in our democratic system, shining a light on what we have to be grateful for as well as the work to be done.”

Views of Democracy: Gratitude and Hope for the Future celebrates democracy through the eyes of visual artists–from video to sculpture and from painting to photography, textile art and mixed media. Accompanying artists’ statements, are both personal and universal and encourage reflection on democracy and citizenship.

Presented by Citizen Joy. Curated by Jeff Raz and Barbara Kibbe.

  • Exhibit Dates: September 6th – October 25th
  • Opening Reception: Saturday, September 6th, 2025, 3:00-5:00pm
