Our Story

As a vital, enduring event venue and gathering place, Radiance Oak provides an alternative and accessible physical location for new, powerful and beneficial forms of community.

Located in the historic Makin Produce Building, in the Jack London Waterfront Warehouse District, in Oakland, California, Radiance Oak is a unique property which has supported a wide variety of community gatherings and served as an art gallery and live-work residence over its 9-year history. We are a part of a growing, self-sustaining ecosystem of Oakland cultural development and ingenuity, and we are now embarking on a mission to convert our building to a seismically safe home for community use and creative works.

With an open space design on two floors, Radiance is configured to support a wide variety of community interests and needs.

We currently are seeking $150,000 for capital improvements to the 1928 converted produce warehouse in order to meet building codes for our approved zoning change - to Residential and Group Assembly. Required improvements include a major seismic retrofit of the brick and old growth redwood timber building, constructing a 1-hour fire safe corridor, additional ADA-compliant restroom and new staircases.
