In 2026, Salamanca embraced a new name\u2014an act of self-definition that became a powerful affirmation of identity and a catalyst for creative transformation. Freed from expectations that once constrained her, her work has entered a period of greater clarity, confidence, and emotional depth. \nThis body of work explores the liberation that emerges when authenticity is fully embraced. The introduction of wire mesh and draped chains began as formal material investigations but evolved into potent metaphors for the protective barriers Salamanca had constructed around herself over time. Fragmented mesh and suspended chains symbolize the dismantling of fear, self-doubt, and inherited expectations, revealing a renewed sense of freedom and possibility. Alongside 12 paintings, Salamanca will debut six double exposure self portraits that mark the beginning of a new practice with Film Photography on a Canon AE-1 Program. Both deeply personal and universally resonant, The Final Push is a celebration of self-acceptance, courage, and transformation\u2014a declaration of identity expressed without apology and an invitation to witness the power of becoming fully seen. \nBio:\nThe Final Push marks Cade Salamanca\u2019s second solo exhibition with Mercury 20 Gallery. Throughout her artistic journey, Salamanca has explored diverse mediums including ceramics and photography. After experimenting with different painting styles, she developed a distinctive voice that combines techniques she has honed over the years\u2014from smooth color transitions to rich textured layers.Salamanca\u2019s work has been shown at the Blue Mountain Gallery in New York City; Made In California 2024, Brea Gallery, in La Brea, CA; Reflections of Us (Juror Sergio Gomez), Warnes Contemporary, in Brooklyn, NY; Metal Haus Gallery, in San Francisco, CA; and others. \nGallery Hours: Friday and Saturday, 12 \u2013 5 pm (and by appointment)\ufeff\nArtists\u2019 Opening Reception: Saturday, August 15, 3 \u2013 5 pm\n\ufeffOakland Art Murmur \/ First Friday: Friday, August 7, September 4, 5 \u2013 9 pm","place_name":"Mercury 20 Gallery","place_address":"475 25th St, Oakland, CA 94612, United States","flyer_url":"https:\/\/oaklandartmurmur.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1CadeSalamanca-Cade-Salamanca.jpeg","is_third_party":true},{"id":"api:35854","title":"Cate White: World Raw","url":"https:\/\/planetzoop.com\/event\/api-cate-white-world-raw-transmission-gallery-oakland-08-01-26","start_at":"2026-08-01T12:00:00-07:00","end_at":"2026-08-01T17:00:00-07:00","event_type":"Art","description":"At Transmission Gallery through August 1st, 2026\n(closed July 4th) \nAll are welcome, please join us for Cate White Artist\u2019s Talk:\nSaturday, July 11th, starting at 4 pm \nGallery hours: Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 12 \u2013 5 pm \nCate White brings fiercely powerful work to World Raw, consisting of paintings and sculptures selected from the last twelve years. \nCate White\u2019s Statement: \nThese works inhabit a world where personal memory, dreams, political reality, religion, banal culture, and archetypal myth have not yet been separately categorized. Images translate from one story into another, remixing contexts until they lose their fixed meanings. Armageddon arrives as a vaguely sinister faceless shmoo. The devil wears flip-flops with socks instead of cloven hooves. Horror and hilarity trade masks. The miraculous and the absurd share the same language. The sacred, psychological, traumatic, mythic, domestic, and comic all stand on equal groundless ground. \nOver the years, the work has delivered images of confinement and escape: caves, cells, thresholds, thrashing, illuminated openings. But the way to liberation is never clear, and running beneath the work is an undercurrent of grief\u2014for failed transformations, lost certainties, and the perpetual distance between desire and fulfillment. The sacred and ridiculous are merged. Enlightenment appears as a spray-painted glow. \nThe process of painting is a tightrope act between intention and accident, structure and impulse. Both order and chaos can become prisons. I am searching for a third place: moments of bewilderment, play, revelation, or recognition. Rather than offering a coherent narrative, these works invoke a raw world, unfinished and alive, where meaning is in the making.","place_name":"Transmission Gallery Oakland","place_address":"770 W Grand Ave Suite A, Oakland, CA 94612, United States","flyer_url":"https:\/\/oaklandartmurmur.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/CateWhte_FourHorsemen_49x71.jpg","is_third_party":true},{"id":"api:35949","title":"AAMLO Kids Club","url":"https:\/\/planetzoop.com\/event\/api-aamlo-kids-club-african-american-museum-and-library-at-oakland-oakland-08-01-26","start_at":"2026-08-01T13:00:00-07:00","end_at":"2026-08-01T14:00:00-07:00","event_type":"Education","description":"Join us for our monthly AAMLO Kids' Club for a day of storytelling and arts and crafts.

During this brief presentation, she will share insights into her selection process, discuss the exhibition\u2019s themes, and highlight works that resonated with her vision as juror. Following the talk, she will present two exhibition awards that extend opportunities beyond the exhibition itself. The Juror Award includes a featured hallway exhibition at Manna Gallery during the 2026\u201327 exhibition season, while the Manna Gallery Award includes an invitation to the gallery\u2019s annual year-end group exhibition. As Manna Gallery\u2019s first juried exhibition, Everything Must Go reflects our commitment to building new relationships with artists throughout the Bay Area and creating meaningful opportunities for future exhibition, visibility, and community engagement within our gallery program. \nEverything Must Go Juried Group Show Artists\nNorman Aragones, Malachi Arthur, Jordan Benton, Laurie Caird, Madelyn Covey, Dana DeKalb, Eden Evans, Elizabeth Evans, Shelley Gardner, Elena Godina, Monica Guillory, Corrine Hatt, Rachel Katz, Kathryn Kenworth, Sarah Klein, Suzy Kopf, Faridah Laffan, Jenifer Lake, Patricia Liverman, Heath Massey, Colin McAllister, Erin McCluskey Wheeler, Manuel Rodriguez, John Rogers, Tammi Salas, John Sheridan, Maureen Shields, Renetta Sitoy, Jamie Smith, Hannah Claire Somerville, Jennifer Sturgill, Michelle Sweeney-Fillmore, Sarah Travis Buck, Yana Verba, Amy Vidra, Bill Ward, Martin Webb, Jia Wilson, and Alexander Yoshikawa \nJuly 11 \u2013 August 8, 2026\nClosing Event \/ Exhibition Awards: Saturday, August 8, 3-5 pm\nGallery Hours: Saturdays, 12-5 pm, First Fridays, 5-8 pm & by appt","place_name":"Manna Gallery","place_address":"473 25th St, Oakland, CA 94612, United States","flyer_url":"https:\/\/oaklandartmurmur.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1-2.jpg","is_third_party":true},{"id":"native:436","title":"LIFE DRAWING","url":"https:\/\/planetzoop.com\/event\/life-drawing","start_at":"2026-08-10T18:30:00-07:00","end_at":"2026-08-10T18:30:00-07:00","event_type":"Art","description":"LIFE DRAWING\r\nFRANK BETTE CENTER FOR THE ARTS\r\nMonday Evenings\r\n6:30pm - 9:30pm\r\n$20 per person\r\nAll Skills Welcome\r\nLive Models\r\nLong Poses 2nd and last Mondays\r\n1601 Paru St.\r\nAlameda, Ca.\r\n(510)523-6957\r\nDrop in or Signup: https:\/\/www.frankbettecenter.org\/figure-drawing\r\nMore information: svenjarts@gmail.com","place_name":"Frank Bette Center For the Arts","place_address":"1601 Paru St","flyer_url":"https:\/\/s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/digifly\/1060\/a0b5e998e839411675491f24b837ce393efca668a5403617c90072fa69afe08e.jpg","is_third_party":false},{"id":"native:422","title":"Come paint with me","url":"https:\/\/planetzoop.com\/event\/come-paint-with-me","start_at":"2026-08-12T14:00:00-07:00","end_at":"2026-08-12T14:00:00-07:00","event_type":"Art","description":"Come paint with me\r\nOpen studio painting.
