Rising Tides is the inaugural exhibition of the Hall Art and Technology Foundation Floating Art Museum, located at 2517 Blanding Ave, in Alameda, CA. The exhibition includes more than twenty artists in a sampling of paintings and sculpture with a curatorial interest in contemporary culture. The artwork responds to concerns about the environment, living through a pandemic, political upheaval, ongoing war, and more.

“The expectation of a rising tide is a hopeful notion, promising that no matter how bleak things look in the moment, if one just holds on long enough, eventually things will turn around…” (Jeremy Dean)

Artists represented in the exhibition come from Japan, South Africa, Costa Rica, Mexico, New York, Chicago, Hawaii, as well as from cities in California.    

About the Floating Museum

The Floating Museum offers a unique platform to experience and view art. Located on the Oakland Estuary, one experiences the sea with its marsh, water, and birds, along with the rhythmic sound of traffic on a nearby bridge. Stepping onto the floating barge, where you stand is now gently shifting and unstable. While experiencing subtle movement, the viewer is drawn into a space that inspires the imagination.
