Affordable Housing Month (AHM) begins in just two days! Each year during this time, East Bay Housing Organizations (EBHO) has the privilege of highlighting a local artist whose work speaks to the feeling of home in the East Bay.
In honor of this year’s regional AHM theme—Love Begins With Home—we’re excited to feature the incredible work of Alana Landrum, a mixed-media artist originally from Oakland, whose art reflects the vibrancy and complexity of our East Bay communities. Her piece The Camron-Stanford House—depicting Oakland’s historic landmark located along Lake Merritt—is a powerful reminder that the places we call home hold the stories of our past and why honoring those stories is essential to building a future rooted in community.
As part of Affordable Housing Month, Alana’s artwork will be featured across EBHO’s promotional materials and at the heart of our Kickoff Celebration on May 7th. Purchase your tickets today to join the Celebration!

Meet Alana Landrum!
Alana Landrum is a mixed-media artist. Originally from Oakland, California, her artistic roots were deeply nurtured and cultivated in the rich cultural and visual landscape of her hometown. Her work integrates a blend of abstract and expressionistic techniques to give form to emotions, ideas, and memories, while offering commentary on our shared humanity. Her practice encompasses painting, drawing, and sculpture, through which she captures the ephemeral and sensual essence of life with intention to stir the imagination and encourage interpretation. Her work explores the dynamic interplay between the mind, body, and spirit as they engage in an ongoing dialogue with the world around us.
About the Artwork
The Camron-Stanford House is a historic landmark located along Lake Merritt. This home, now converted into a community museum, celebrates the life, art, and culture of Oakland in the late 1800s. The Stanford House invites neighbors and visitors alike to connect with Oakland’s vibrant past.
