7th West is a community hub. They strive to create an environment where everyone can thrive and feel welcome. The initial vision of 7th West was to provide the West Oakland community a place and a platform for their creative endeavors.

Since their inception, they their vision morphed into something greater: being an economic driver through place-keeping. 7th West is part of a larger economic engine for social good by employing, training, sourcing, donating and curating locally.

Their ethos is to align their values and activities with the needs of different community stakeholders from their employees, suppliers, customers, and local artists.
