Part of Oakland's First Friday Art Walk, the Midtown Oakland Arts District is found in the heart of the new downtown Oakland. Centered around the intersection of Broadway and Telegraph, Midtown Oakland Arts District is a walkable, collection of premier art galleries, restaurants, bars, clubs and cultural venues open on the First Friday of every month.
The Midtown Oakland Arts District web-site features participating arts and cultural venues loosely centered around the intersection of Broadway and Telegraph, open every First Friday in the evening, and within walking distance of one another. Midtown Oakland is one of several walkable districts which participate in Oakland's First Friday Art Walk.
