About the Gray Loft Gallery:
Gray Loft Gallery has been referred to as a hidden gem in Jingletown, and noted by Kenneth Baker, former art critic of the SF Chronicle, in his Visual Arts Don’t Miss Column as “…A space gaining prominence in the Bay Area…”   and was voted “Best Art Gallery” in the 2016 Oakland Magazine Best Of Oakland issue. The mission of the gallery is to provide exhibition opportunities for artists in a setting that is an alternative to the traditional gallery model. We hope to inspire, engage and celebrate artists in our community and beyond.  We acknowledge the achievements of emerging, mid-career and established artists – with an emphasis on those who live and work in the Bay Area.
GLG is a non-traditional art gallery in a converted warehouse located on the 3rd floor in a large, well-lit space in one of the oldest legal artist live/work buildings in Jingletown.

“I have always enjoyed this gallery, superb atmosphere and lighting. The polished and worn hardwood floors creek slightly in places as you climb to the third floor, providing a granular and unique, organic aesthetic. This is a do-not-miss venue in the East Bay.”  –  Facebook Review
