S.H.E.D. Projects, located in West Oakland, is a temporary workspace for emerging artists and an exhibition/event space for installations, performances, and other visual arts projects headquartered in an outdoor storage bay. S.H.E.D. Projects aims to provide a non-traditional workspace that challenges artists to make work outside of their normal practices, as well as offering an alternative to more traditional gallery settings. Starting in December 2012, S.H.E.D. will begin to accept exhibition and event proposals.
