#fortheculture exists as a melting pot where art, history, community, creativity, and forward thinking blend together to form a space for creatives of all kinds to commune together, collaborate, and vibe out harmoniously.

The 9+ decade old building that houses #fortheculture is designed with newly painted murals in addition to pieces of artwork/fixtures from the previous restaurant (Mexicali Rose) as a symbol of homage to the community it has served in the past, will continue to serve today and in the future.

#fortheculture represents a space for the community of Oakland, its surroundings cities, and travelers from all over; to gather, honor, and appreciate what the Oakland culture has meant and continues to mean to the Bay Area, the state of California, and beyond.
