Alameda Point Studios Open House

October 5 & 6, 11am-5pm 

1800 Ferry Point, Alameda

On October 5th & 6th Alameda Point Studios is opening its doors to the public for the first time in 16 years. Housed in a building that once served as aircraft maintenance and testing facility, this lively community with more than 37 individual artists, creators, craftspeople, and some fascinating businesses will finally show their stuff. Peruse the woodshops with its many makers, a piano 
restoration company, a stone sculptor’s studio, a print shop, and many more. 

This is a new phase for the old Naval Air Base as more and more of the buildings are handed over to the city of Alameda and they look to bring new energy to this often forgotten and beautiful part of the island. “The abundant creativity at Alameda Point Studios is a critical piece of the developing story of the Naval Base,” says founder Dean Santner. 

The machines will be shut down for the weekend of October 5th and 6th from 11am to 5pm and the residing businesses, artists and craftspeople will be there displaying art and furniture and explaining their work. Come take a tour, talk with 
the artists and buy unique custom made pieces. 

There will be artisanal food trucks on site, so while you grab a bite you can take in the breathtaking view of the bay and the San Francisco skyline. 
Great way to discover a new favorite place on the bay!
