Gray Loft Gallery ~ 10 Connect closing party

The exhibition of 10 Connect – A Group Show of Ten Artists at the Gray Loft Gallery is now history but we ended with an incredible closing reception, last Friday night, which exceeded our expectations (see images at end of blog). We had an incredible turn out and a very lively reception.

This has been a very successful exhibit. It, as well as the gallery, has received positive and inspiring praise from the art community, including a review in the East Bay Express.

Thanks to everyone who came to see the work, talked to the artists and helped us celebrate the end of the exhibit.

We appreciate your interest and support of the show and Gray Loft Gallery!

We would like to give special thanks to the following who helped make this show a success:

to the poets Jerry Ratch and Melody Lacina for reading their soulful words at the gallery on sunny Saturday afternoons,

and special kudos to Styrous® for being the amazing administrator and photographer of the blog!
