ABOUT JINGLETOWN
Among other notable artistic enterprises, it is the location of a
number of galleries, including Gray Loft Gallery, Jingletown Art Studios
and Gallery and 4:20 Gallery, as well as studios of many renowned
artists who are living and working in one of the most recognized
artists’ warehouse districts in Oakland.
The moniker
Jingletown came from turn of the century when Portuguese cannery workers
whose earnings would "jingle" in their pockets at the end of the day as
they walked home from the factories in the area. Many of those
canneries and factories closed and the neighborhood went into disuse,
but in the early 1980’s artists realized the potential and converted
many of the neglected warehouses into functioning live/work spaces. It
is now a flourishing artist community in the Bay Area.
The
goal of the Jingletown Arts and Business Community is to heighten
awareness about the rich and diverse population of working and
exhibiting artists in the neighborhood, and to promote creative
opportunities in the Jingletown Arts District. Visitors to this historic
arts district will see colorful mosaic murals on converted warehouse
walls, intersection street painting art and the Peterson Street
Community Wall, which features murals by many of the residents of
Jingletown.
