Saturday, Sept 19

The first weekend East Bay Plein Air session will be at Middle Harbor Shoreline Park in Oakland. Directions: From 80, go south until you hit the 580/880 fork. Stay to your right to get to 880. Take the very first exit off 880, which is the West Grand Ave/7th exit. Pass Maritime St, then the road curves to the left, to Middle Harbor Rd Park. Stay on the road (don't turn right onto 7th), make a right at the park's south entrance, and you will see the USS Oakland's Mast in the center of the circle. Stop for a second so you can locate the entrance to the smaller parking lot to the left of the mast, which is where we'll meet. Click here for a map of the park, and here for a map with the park's location. Come prepared for the wind.
