Temporary Public Art Program

New Deadline: July 15th 2022

Summer at the Hidden Cafe

Berkeley, California

3 Day Out-of-Doors Display

Summer at The Hidden Café is hosting a three-day music and art event; with a multitude of performances in a shared public space to allow everyone to listen to a variety of music from diverse and unique cultures, free of charge.  This three-day fundraising event for the Asian Pacific Environmental Network (APEN), a local non-profit that raises awareness for social justice for Asian Americans and environmental justice, is striving to destigmatize Western classical music.

We are seeking artists interested in supporting APEN by setting up a table/display booth at our three day event.  We are also seeking artwork for a fundraising silent auction.  Summer at the Hidden Cafe will collect 50% of art sales to be donated to APEN.  All donations are tax deductible with the fiscal support of Local Artists Berkeley, a 501(c)3 nonprofit. 

For artist(s) interested in a display booth/table, submit an application on our website; www.localartistsberkeley.org/call-for-art.

Artists interested in submitting an artwork for the silent auction, please email us at info@localartistsberkeley.org with image, your info, artwork info and any promotional material you would like to share with us to help promote the silent auction.
