We champion new art practices and emerging forms of cultural production through an institutional platform which fosters cross-pollination of ideas.
Founded in 1974 as the Alameda County Neighborhood Arts Program, Pro Arts is one of the longest running contemporary art institutions in Oakland, impacting the regional and global communities by supporting art that pushes boundaries, generates discourse and challenges the status quo.
Today, Pro Arts continues to support contemporary artists directly through exhibitions, commissions, residency programs, satellite projects, digital platforms and publications. Annually we present over 200 artists, working in diverse artistic fields, conduct over 700 art education programs for youth, and reach an audience of over 10,000.
Pro Arts is a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization. Our EIN # is 94-2259269.
