Small & Affordable Art by Local Artists Are you looking for that one-of-a-kind, handmade gift for your loved one this holiday season? Or just want a fun, small, quirky piece of local art for yourself? Then get ready for the annual Mini Masterpieces Holiday Gifts Show — equal parts fine art exhibit and most unique holiday shopping experience in Alameda — presented by Art Jam at Rhythmix! Art Jam is a core group of local artists who meet weekly at Rhythmix to build community and work in a shared studio environment. Since launching the first Mini Masterpieces exhibit in 2009, it has become one of the most anticipated holiday art shows on the island. In addition to Mini Masterpieces, Art Jam has shown together in numerous group Gallery shows, spearheaded community guerrilla art projects and occasionally made big ‘ole things like the whale mural at Lincoln Park Pool. Don’t miss this opportunity to take home your piece of local Alameda lore from this once-a-year collection of hand-made and unique items made by local Art Jam artists.

Artwork by San Francisco Museum Staff Art Comes From Art, Comes From Art highlights artwork by staff members of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco—the Legion of Honor and the deYoung. While working on the frontline team of a world-class institution, these artists sustain their own creative practices and contribute to the Bay Area’s vibrant local arts scene. Each of the seven participating artists presents at least one new work directly inspired by the museums—their collections, architecture, and/or visitors. From beadwork to painting, brush-and-ink comics, digital drawings, cartooning, and illustration, the works reflect the diverse approaches and perspectives that thrive within the museum’s creative ecosystem. The exhibition’s title nods to Art Comes from Art, the 2025 Wayne Thiebaud exhibition at the Legion of Honor, echoing Thiebaud’s belief that all art exists in dialogue with what has come before. In that spirit, Art Comes From Art, Comes From Art celebrates the circular exchange of inspiration—how working among great works of art, alongside a team of passionate art-lovers, sparks new creations and how those creations, in turn, keep the dialogue alive. Exhibit Dates: January 17 – February 22 Opening Reception: Saturday, January 17, 2026, 5:00-8:00pm Gallery Hours: Sun. Feb 8, 15, 22 from 12pm-3pm
