CALIBRI TEST

ISSUES presents OAKLAND SIGNAGE by OLIVIA ALLUMS

please join us on friday, december 5th from 5-9 pm for the opening of OAKLAND SIGNAGE by OLIVIA ALLUMS. this show will feature 30 small paintings of iconic oakland signs, all researched and painted by olivia over the course of the past year. the postcard above features images of 6 of the signs that will be featured in the show.

we really mean it when we say we are ecstatic about this show! olivia has been a friend of the store since the day we posted our 'ISSUES coming soon....' sign in the window and we have followed her work ever since. when we heard last year that she had painted a series of san francisco signs, we asked her to consider doing a set of oakland signs to be featured in our store. after a year of working on this project, olivia has produced a beautiful collection of paintings which chronicle the unique neighborhoods that make up our home. we can't wait to share this work with you.

come by on friday, december 5th to see the full set of paintings. the show will run through december 31st, however, we will be allowing customers to take home signs after december 19th, just in case they are needed for holiday gifts!

hope to see you soon & happy holidays!!!!

xoxo noella & joe
