About the festival producers:
West End Arts District – “empowering artists to transform the public space.”
Alameda’s West End Arts District (WEAD) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2015 by community member and business owner Sandra Russell who understood that the best way to build community and revitalize the area was through the arts. Blues, Brews & BBQ launched that same year and continues to be the WEAD’s flagship annual festival, attracting crowds of music lovers to Alameda every September. Since then, WEAD’s programming has expanded, presenting dance, theater, music, comedy, and subculture events; commissioning visual art and murals; and providing fiscal sponsorship and support for arts groups and artists working on the Island.
