RCCD Artist-in-Residence: Jasmine Singh
Published on July 21, 2026
Between Us is a six-week community portrait residency built around liminality: the in-between states of time, space, and identity we all move through, often without naming them. Each week's theme sits somewhere on that spectrum: what we're carrying, where we come from, and who we've become. In partnership with ECAP, the Emeryville Senior Center, and Big Daddy's Community Garden, the portrait studio also travels into spaces already rooted in this community - honoring the people who hold it together. Every portrait accumulates into one collective installation at the closing show - revealing patterns of care, uncertainty, resilience, and connection, and reinforcing the idea that none of us move through these liminal moments alone.

Emeryville Police Department: Back to School Supply Drive
Published on July 08, 2026
Join the Emeryville Police Department in helping local students start the school year prepared and confident!
From July 13 through August 10, we’re collecting new school supplies for students and families in need right here in our community. As the new school year approaches, many families are facing rising costs, and something as simple as a backpack, notebook, pencils, crayons, folders, or glue can make a real difference for a child heading back to class.
We’re inviting our Emeryville community, local businesses, and partners to come together and support this year’s School Supply Drive by donating brand-new school supplies at any of our designated drop-off locations listed on the flyer. Every donation—big or small—helps students feel ready to learn, participate, and succeed on day one.
How you can help:
• Donate new school supplies
• Drop them off between July 13 – August 10
• Share this post to help spread the word
Together, we can make sure students in our community have the tools they need for a strong start to the school year. Thank you for supporting Emeryville families and helping us make a positive impact—one backpack, notebook, and pencil at a time.
Please see flyer for donation locations throughout Emeryville
