Monthly Video Screenings

For the first time in our six-year history, the Great Wall will be dark during the March Art Murmur due to budget cuts that have affected our past funding We’re working on alternative sources and hope to be back up in April.

If you are interested helping to bring high-quality video art to the citizens of Oakland for no cost, then send a tax-exempt donation payable to our fiscal sponsor, the Lake Merritt-Uptown Association, in honor of the Great Wall of Oakland. Checks of all amounts can be sent here: 388 19th Street  Oakland, CA 94612

We appreciate all forms of support. If you’d like to express what the Wall means to you, send us an email here. We’d love to hear from you!

In case you missed it, the Great Wall made it big with a feature in the New York Times (Jan. 14, 2012).

Graffiti Art by Estria Foundation

Due to the recent events in downtown Oakland, the Great Wall has decided not to participate in Friday’s Art Murmur.

The “Street Art” show that was planned with Estria and Friends will be postponed until 2012. Thank you for your support!

For our last show of the 2011 season, the Great Wall of Oakland is celebrating all types of “Street Art” and featuring the amazing group of internationally-recognized graffiti artists:

***  Estria  ***  Vogue  ***  Apex  ***

Not only will we present an incredible line-up of art videos, showing the wacky ways people make art in the streets, but Estria and friends will grace us with a live graffiti demo before the show. Don’t miss it!
