Art Auctions and Booths

In collaboration with Local Artists Berkeley, Summer at The Hidden Cafe will be supporting local artists in addition to our concert series. Artists booths will be available, and we will be hosting a silent art auction for select pieces. More information on our collaborating artists will be released soon!

For artist(s) interested in a display booth/table, submit an application HERE.

Artists interested in submitting an artwork for the silent auction, please email us HERE with images, your info, artwork info and any promotional material you would like to share with us to help promote the silent auction.

We need your help!

In order for these concerts to happen, we need money to cover our expenses:

  • Pay and support our local musicians and artists
  • Renting stage and sound equipment
  • Bringing in established local talents
  • Creating the most enjoyable concert experience

All donations (through our fiscal sponsor, Local Artists Berkeley) are 501(c)(3) tax exempt!

Once our expenses are covered, ALL remaining funds will be donated to APEN.

Please help us support our local Asian immigrant communities!
