Update as of 3/18/22 – OACC Connex has been postponed to MAY 8, 2022 due to recent conflicts and developments.

You’re invited to the first-ever OACC Connex, a friend-raising event that supports the community in and around OACC.

Join us on March 20, 2022, from 11am-4pm at the Oakland Asian Cultural Center for a hands-on DIY community screen printing workshop and an immersive Oakland Chinatown walking tour. During the workshop, learn how you can create a design/message around community-building with Rock Paper Scissors Collective. In addition to the workshop, enjoy an hour-long special Oakland Chinatown historical tour led by Oakland Community Historian Roy Chan. After the tour, participants are encouraged to explore around Chinatown to grab an early or late lunch based on your workshop time. There will also be a demo and take-home posters provided by San Francisco Poster Syndicate.

There are only 30 spots available for the screen print workshop and attendees will be split into two groups of 15. OACC will provide all the screen printing materials and bottled water. Please come prepared by wearing clothes that would be ok to get paint on since the workshop can get messy.

Event Schedule:

• 11am-1pm:
  Group A – DIY screen print workshop
  Group B – Oakland Chinatown tour (tour leaves at 11:30am)
  SF Poster Syndicate demo in OACC Lobby (until 1:30pm)

The event will be held in person at OACC. If you are planning to attend in person, please review OACC’s Onsite Visitor Policy. Donations are greatly appreciated and will support programs. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
