We’re excited to host a special Art of Zaya Exhibition at The Local, beautifully organized by

Zaya is internationally recognized for blending traditional Mongolian art with contemporary influences, combining Tibetan and Japanese techniques with modern expression. His work often reflects nomadic culture, ancient life, and majestic portraits inspired by Mongolian heritage.

Zaya’s artwork has been exhibited internationally in the USA, Japan, Germany, and France, and we’re honored to share these inspiring pieces here in Alameda.

A special thank you to Maggie for organizing this beautiful cultural event. Wishing you great success and good luck with the exhibition!

Join us for an evening of art, culture, and connection.
