The Alameda Art Works: Fall Open Studios
San Jose, California—November 7 & 8, 2009—The Alameda Art Works will be hosting its Fall Open Studios. In this year’s event, the artists will be donating a portion of all sales to Sacred Heart Community Service, a social services charity that has been serving our community since 1964 (http://www.shcstheheart.org/nflash.html). Once a municipal auditorium and roller-skating rink, The Alameda Artworks is now one of the largest collections of artist studios in the South Bay. This is a great opportunity to see a large number of artists under one roof. The artists’ work will be on view as well as for sale.
The Alameda Artworks invites all art lovers to a reception celebrating the Fall Open Studios Event.
Saturday- Reception: November 7, 2009 2 to 5PM (studios open from 11am to 5pm)
Sunday- Open Studios: November 8, 2009 11am to 5pm

The history of The Alameda Artworks:
In 1991, Falko Forbrich purchased the building that has become The Alameda Artworks. In the following year, he built 7 studios, leasing them out to an art center. Later, Forbrich built 14 more studios and began renting them out to individual artists. Now in 2009, the building is home to 39 artists. Due to the popularity and growth of the Alameda Artworks, Forbrich has had to create an ever-growing waiting list for new tenants.
The Alameda Art Works is located at:
1068 The Alameda
