Linda Asbury brings decades of heart, wisdom, and steady leadership to the Alameda Gallery & Collective as our beloved Shop Mom and Retail Associate. A familiar and trusted presence in Alameda, Linda previously served as the Executive Director of the West Alameda Business Association, where she spent years championing small businesses, fostering connection, and helping the West End thrive through both growth and challenge.

At the Gallery & Collective, Linda is the calm in the chaos, the friendly face who remembers names, and the quiet force keeping things running smoothly. Whether she’s welcoming customers, supporting artists, organizing the shop floor, or offering a thoughtful word of encouragement, she brings a deep love for community and a genuine belief in the power of local creativity.

Linda’s role goes far beyond retail, she is a guide, a caretaker, and a steady presence who helps make the space feel safe, warm, and well-held. We’re endlessly grateful to have her grounding energy, institutional knowledge, and generous spirit woven into the fabric of the Collective.
