We've Won Best of Oakland 2025!!

We’re Honored: Thelma Harris Art Gallery Wins Best of Oakland 2025 🎉

We are thrilled to share some wonderful news—Thelma Harris Art Gallery has been named Best Gallery in Oakland by Oakland Magazine’s Best of Oakland 2025 Awards!

This recognition is especially meaningful as we continue our nearly four-decade journey of showcasing the voices, visions, and creativity of African American and African Diaspora artists. From emerging talents to established masters, our mission has always been to create a welcoming space where art inspires, educates, connects—and most importantly, heals.

Winning this award is not just about us—it’s about all of you:

• Our collectors who continue to support and invest in the artists we champion.

• Our artists whose powerful works keep conversations alive and legacies strong.

• Our community that shows up, celebrates, and keeps Oakland’s art scene vibrant.

We are so grateful for your votes, your visits, and your belief in what we do. This honor belongs to all of us.

✨ Here’s to more years of celebrating art, culture, and community together—because art heals, and Oakland shines brighter because of it.

With gratitude,
Thelma Harris Art Gallery Team
