A member of Oakland Art Murmur, Oakopolis Creativity Center (OCC, a.k.a. Oakopolis Gallery) is an artist run, not-for-profit organization. Through exhibitions and workshops the OCC promotes, honors, and enhances the use of the creative spirit to encourage positive growth and creative intermingling on a personal, community, and global level. HISTORY Oakopolis Creativity Center, grew out of the Big City art installation by Joell Jones. In the Big City, twenty-six assemblage sculpture towers evisioned a utopian city that contained its own Creativity Center. The values of the art installation were made manifest in the Fort Creativity Center established by Joell Jones and fellow artist Jeanne Jabbour in 2004. It was Joell's vision to bring the future into the now by establishing a creativity center with Jeanne, and they invited artist and graphic designer Jan Camp to join them. In the Spring of 2007, the center was relocated and renamed Oakopolis Creativity Center to embrace the greater Oakland area of the San Francisco East Bay, and to become a member of Oakland's Art Murmur. In October 2007, the Oakopolis Gallery opened its first exhibition to the public. Gallery Credo Oakopolis exhibitions are a gift to the community. They are a vehicle for developing and sharing heartfelt consciousness. The work of a creative artist is not a luxury but a necessity to society. Art is an instrument of communication and serves as a method for recording history. It has the energy to move people emotionally, intellectually, and socially. Throughout the history of the human race it is a society's art that has provided us with clues to its deepest thought and expression. Art reveals the essence of nature, time, and place No separation between art and living Live to make art responsibly Model responsibility in your art practice Evoke better communication Embrace sincerity Invite and collaborate
