First annual Artist Impact Award to be given by a panel of influential Oakland artists....
We have something new as part of this year’s all-school art showcase, Metamorphosis. We’ll give out the first annual Oakland Artist Impact Award!

Given all the great talent in our town, this is a difficult task. So we brought in a panel of 10 impactful and influential Oakland artists to make nominations and select the recipient for this honor.

Check out some of the names being talked about!

Music at the Guild Theatre Vocal and Instrumental Student Performance
Great job to our OSA Vocal and Instrumental students for their "Follow the Music" performance at the Guild Theatre in Menlo Park!

Students had the opportunity to connect with other youth musicians from SFJAZZ, Glide Memorial Church, SF Community Music Center, ELM Youth Orchestra and Blue Bear School of Music.

Follow the Music is a new music education and emerging artists program started by OSA parent Phil Green, Ronnie Lott, and a group of friends who "believe in the transformational power of music, and want to do everything in their power to support the next generation".

Special guests included Ronnie Lott, Sheila E, and Sterling James.

Great job students and faculty!
