About this project

Mission Creek Oakland began three years ago as an extension of the legendary Mission Creek Festival in San Francisco (now in it's 15th year!). Both MCO and MCSF are partnered with the Intersection for the Arts - the Bay Area's oldest arts organization.

Our vision is to bring the spirit of Mission Creek -- nurturing local art and emerging artists and fostering community -- to the sunnier side of the Bay. We strive to represent the diversity of Oakland through as many art forms and musical genres as possible!

MCO is the product of volunteer labor: musicians, artists, producers and promoters whose reward is people coming together to witness awesome art and music, and having a good time. This year, Mission Creek Oakland will grow from one week to spanning the entire month of September, and that is one of the reasons we are asking for YOUR help.

Please help us provide a month of creativity and fun in Oakland, by donating to cover its costs: printing programs, renting equipment, documenting shows, and providing guarantees to touring bands.

Remember - supporting MCO is also directly supporting your local arts community! We're all in this together and we are going to make this AWESOME!!!! See you at the fest in September!

xoxo,

2011 Mission Creek Crew!

I started interning for the Mission Creek Music Festival four years ago and decided to start MCO to rep Oakland! In my spare time, I sling magazines, pet my dog, make things, and bop around at shows!
