There are no shortage of examples of artistic parents who are working to keep Oakland creative. Here are just a few examples:

- Jennifer Anderson is the Oakland parent and designer behind the popular Oaklandish/Fairyland re-branding
- Tommy Wong is an Oakland parent and artist working to keep Oakland Chinatown creative. He just helped to open a new pop up, the E14 Gallery in Old Oakland.
