Alameda Art Lab
Owner and teacher JaYing Wand offers classes on how to make mosaic art, stained glass, and fused glass. She’s created murals for elementary schools in Alameda. Their space is also available for summer camp, parties, and team building events.
Muir Beach
Marin County
One of its popular features is a bridge that connects the parking lot to the beach. As you walk down the stairway, you can check out the beautiful views of the ocean and you might actually see whales swimming off the Pacific Coast. But that’s not the only wildlife around. The beach has a lagoon which is home to animals such as salmon and frogs.
The Oakland Ballet’s next performance is “Flower” with Misty Copeland on Friday September 29th at the Paramount. Visit their websitefor upcoming events.
