We are a community-led initiative to foster and celebrate the performing and visual arts in the West End of Alameda.
West End Arts District (WEAD) was founded in 2015. We believe that arts and culture are essential to nurturing a strong and vibrant community. Since launching our flagship annual event, Blues, Brews and BBQ, in 2015, we have expanded our programming to include a range of free arts and community-building events, including Animate Dance Festival, West End Night Market, outdoor art installations, and more.
