Art Murmur

About

Oakland Art Murmur - http://oaklandartmurmur.org was started by the makerspace collective http://rpscollective.com down the street. It occurs on the first Friday of every month.

Few people know that Saturday morning/afternoon there is a Saturday Stroll (ex http://oaklandartmurmur.org/events/saturday-stroll-2013-12-07/) and it's actually easier to look at art and talk to the gallery owners, shop owners during this time.

Projects

• User:Romyilano is working on SudoSquare, possibly with Tracey. This will be an iPhone mobile location-based app that will send passersby art pieces, videos when they are geographically close to SudoRoom. We're looking for collaborations.

Insight

Invite People to SudoRoom After the Art Murmur

It is generally difficult to get people to go to SudoRoom during the Art Murmur, but very easy to get them to come to SudoRoom after (around 10pm) when Art Murmur shuts down. I think it's best to do an after party at SudoRoom. This tends to draw the most crowds, and people are itching to go to a community-based space to visit. It would also be a good way for newcomers to get acquainted with the space.
