Starting in September 2009, Collect will take over two prime commercial spaces in Old Oakland. The first, located on 9th Street near Broadway, will serve as a gallery space for Collect artists as well as an office headquarters for Geremia Design. The second, located at 815 Broadway, will house the Collect Annex and will serve as a store and studio space for various rotating guest artists. The Annex will offer unique and hard-to-find art pieces and living accessories that have been carefully selected for immediate sale. It will enable different local artists to display their pieces in an environment that is conducive to showing off their wares. The spaces will be well-appointed and advertised to ensure maximum visibility. While operating both of these spaces simultaneously, Collect plans to attract a variety of local professionals and artists to the surrounding neighborhood by organizing and hosting community-centered events. Events will occur twice weekly and may be comprised of live music, food and drinks, sketch nights, film screenings, artist openings, and affordable art sales. Also, Collect plans on extending its reach to audiences beyond the local neighborhoods to the entire San Francisco Bay Area by utilizing its vast network of artists, art lovers, and business owners / clients. The spaces will be open to the public for viewing and business during regular business hours at least 3 times a week and by appointment.
