Join us for a day of ART MARKET and LIVE MUSIC in support of our friend, Max!
Max Harris, a brilliant artist and beloved member of Oakland's Arts Community, who has been awaiting trial since June of 2017 in Alameda County's Santa Rita Jail, wrongfully accused of criminal responsibility in the tragic deaths of 36 people lost in the December 2016 Ghost Ship warehouse fire. As a member of the Satya Yuga arts collective at Ghost Ship, Max was known for his tremendous dedication and meaningful contributions to the space and community. We believe the egregious accusations against him are misplaced--he has been made a scapegoat--and that Max should walk free.
With this festival, we are hoping to raise as much awareness of his unjust incarceration as possible. Any and all proceeds from this festival will be used to support Max while he serves his time, aid in his legal defense, and assist his family and friends in preparation for the upcoming trial, including helping Max's family with travel expenses so they can spend some time with him before and during trial, and help him get back on his feet upon his release.
We have assembled a wide array of performers, artists, musicians, and local organizations (some hand-picked by Max!) to support the cause, inform and also entertain you!
