FEATURED EVENTS
Join us for an opening reception for Visible Labor: The East Bay at Work curated by Liam O’Donoghue. We will have refreshments and music from Chungtech from 6-9PM.
This open call goes behind-the-scenes to show the important but often overlooked jobs that keep society running, and gives viewers a new window into a different side of the East Bay. The exhibition features 23 artists in the gallery and online at ebpco.org/exhibitions/online/visiblelabor
It’s Photo Walk Time!
We will be meeting on the first Sunday of the month! Bring any camera you like, and be prepared to wander and shoot for up to an hour.
EBPCO’s bimonthly photo walks are a great way to connect with other photographers while exploring and photographing an interesting Oakland location.
Our photo walks are free and OPEN TO ALL! Bring your camera(s) and your creativity. All cameras welcome, including phones.
Please join us at Telegraph Beer Garden for a low-key gathering. This is a chance to mingle and meet some fellow photographers, and talk about photography, or whatever else strikes our fancy!

WORKSHOPS
IN THE GALLERY
There is an increasingly prevalent opinion that work should either be automated or invisible. The evolution of technology has made all forms of work more precarious and isolated. This exhibition goes behind-the-scenes to show the jobs and workplaces that we don’t usually get to see - or show them from a new perspective. It showcases the important but often overlooked jobs that keep society running, and give viewers a new window into a different side of the East Bay.
