Performances include music of various genres, such as jazz, blues, world music, and classical; dance; comedy; family programming; and quirky community events, such as themed bingo nights and an all-day percussion festival. The K Gallery at RCW presented seven visual art exhibitions, as well as free artist talks, workshops, and a weekly Art Jam, where a steady group of local artists come together to create in a shared studio environment. Bi-monthly Caf Flamenco events in partnership with Caminos Flamencos with a rotating cast of dancers and musicians and fresh paella continue to attract a steady audience. RCW presented 6 Bingo fundraisers in 2015 sponsored by local businesses in addition to its 2nd annual Wine Women & Song fundraiser that featured more than 30 musicians and artists, a panel discussion with women winemakers and Golden Gear Awards presented to three artists in the fields of arts education, visual arts and performing arts. RCW expanded its offerings of youth and family-friendly events to include Dan Chan the Magic Man, Clowns Not Bombs, and quarterly performances of the Amazing Bubble Man with accompaniment on accordion.

Five of these schools participate in the federally funded Title 1 program (Ruby Bridges, Maya Lin, Paden, East Oakland Pride, Melrose Leadership Academy). An additional 20% of total attendees (336 youth) were able to attend these assemblies because of transportation subsidies provided through a special grant from the Quest Foundation.

RCW still offered free workshops to more than 50 girls from Girls Inc. of the Island City. RCW launched its first Percussion Now! Festival in September 2015 in partnership with Total Rhythm and offered an entire day of free percussion performances and hands-on activities for family and youth.
