More about the history of Studio 23
Studio 23 was founded a decade ago by Jessica and Wesley
Warren, who had moved to Alameda just a year earlier. They
began by organizing sketch Meetups throughout the city, inviting
artists from all over the East Bay to join them in creating art. After
opening Studio 23, they encouraged other artists to open studios
next to theirs, creating a community of artists with a wide range of
backgrounds and styles. They used their marketing and artistic
skills to promote events such as the 2nd Friday Art Walks, skill-
building workshops, Holiday window contests, music and film
events, the Annual Alameda Summer Art Fair & Maker Market & Black Light Art Show . They
also supported causes they believed in, including Creative Art
Program most recently with Girls Inc and fundraising events and opportunities for FAAS, Ukraine, Standing
Rock Protest, Ghostship Fires and more.
Thanks to their efforts, Studio 23 became known across the
country for its vibrant art community, and many artists moved to
the area as a result. They funded these activities themselves until
a group of artists formed ArtPush.org to facilitate fundraising and
build on their efforts. During the pandemic, when open studio art
shows were not possible, ArtPush published a series of books
featuring 100 diverse artists each year, beginning in 2020 with
East Bay Artists. They also launched 2nd Friday Art Talks in 2020,
featuring in-depth interviews with artists featured in these
collections of eclectic art.
The community of Alameda is grateful for Jessica and Wesley’s
continued contributions to the well-being of the community
through art.
