Creative Sundays in Uptown Oakland
About this Event
Please note we will not have a Creative Sunday at Gold Palm in July. As an alternative, we are encouraging everyone to attend , the Bay Area's first hi-fi vinyl listening bar, on July 12th.
Silent Sunday is an incredibly inspiring experience where no talking is allowed while an album is played in its entirety. The record on July 12th will be: Mulatu Astatke’s 1972 foundational Ethio-jazz album “Mulatu from Ethiopia.”
Come read, write, draw, knit, ponder, and take in the music in this acoustically and aesthetically beautiful space. Nothing messy (no paint, markers, etc) or noisy. July's album will be announced soon.
Silent Sunday is free and open to the general public from 4:00-5:30pm. No need to purchase a ticket here. Say "creative sunday" at the door for early entry at 3:30pm. Creative Sunday members get a complimentary highball, beer or wine (NA options also available).
We will be back to our regular Creative Sundays at Gold Palm on Aug 9th!
About Creative Sundays:
Started in March 2025, Creative Sundays happen monthly (second Sundays) at Gold Palm in Uptown Oakland and are for anyone who wants to make time for creativity, from professionals craving a change of scenery to the creative-curious playing with the array of art supplies, activities and books I bring and seeing where it leads. Each month also has a Featured Artist (details below).
It's "inviting, lovely, good vibes, relaxing, productive, restorative, fun!"
What to expect (roughly):
2:00: Arrive, pick a table, get a beverage, settle in
2:15: Brief intro by Kate and our featured artist
2:30-4:30pm: Self-guided time for you to focus on your projects, tinker with the materials provided, read, draw, journal, stare out the window...
What to bring:
Your project if you have one in mind (it's OK if you don't there is plenty to do there!)
Charged devices (plugs are limited)
Hotspot if wifi is needed (no public wifi)
Notebook and writing utensil
Headphones (if your project has sound or you prefer your own music)
What NOT to bring:
Anything super noisy or messy (no paints, charcoal, etc)
What I provide:

Inspiring prompts and books to get your creative juices flowing
An array of art supplies (colored pencils, markers, paper, coloring books, and more)
A dreamy, focus playlist
