Oakland Museum of California, 1000 Oak Street, Oakland, CA 94607

This Friday Nights at OMCA the Garden stage will be transformed into a multimedia musical experience! Audiopharmacy crafts an enchanting soundscape by combining Hip Hop, Soul, and Jazz with global music genres and turntablism and then pairs it with Indigenous chanting and knowledge, movement, and visual projection that come together to cultivate healing and unity to inspire change.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Let's Lab w/ Marika Sage! will add to the swell of rhythmic healing with an alternative and highly expressive solo set that encourages creative vulnerability and authentic expression. And The Evening Star will crest the healing sonic wave and remind audiences what freedom is with an inspiring DJ set. Spinning Traditional Indigiqueer Earthlodge Disco, DK Echohawk encourages audiences to dance, groove, revolt, remember, live, and be free.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
In addition to an outstanding event experience, every Friday Nights at OMCA&nbsp; also offers guests a well-rounded gallery experience with Gallery Chats. Unlike the traditional museum tour, Gallery Chats invites visitors to chat, ask questions and connect with our OMCA facilitators who combine content knowledge with lived experience to encourage meaningful dialogue and fresh interpretations of our exhibitions. Cultivate and spread good energy with us this Friday Nights at OMCA!&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Limited $10 flat rate parking for Friday Nights is available in the OMCA Garage until 10 pm. Learn more about getting to the museum.&nbsp;
