Gray Loft Gallery ~ Seeing Red closing reception

This is the last chance to see our annual photo exhibit!
Don't miss it!

Please join us for the
2nd Friday Jingletown Closing Reception:
March 9, 6 – 9 pm

Seeing Red, a photography exhibit that explores and celebrates the color red includes a variety of photographic techniques inspired by the color red, including mixed media, alternative process and traditional color photographic processes.  Red is associated with passion and drama, with strong emotions such as love and anger, and can be stimulating, vibrant and exciting. Lovers of red are passionate with an enthusiasm for life – which is exemplified in this diverse and visually vibrant exhibit. 

Don't miss this diverse and visually stunning photography exhibit!

The exhibit was selected by Ann M. Jastrab, an independent curator, photography consultant, editor, and writer.

ABOUT  GRAY  LOFT  GALLERY

  Gray Loft Gallery - voted "Best Art Gallery"  two years in a row - 2016  & 2017 - in the Oakland Magazine Readers' Choice Award - has promoted the rich art culture of Jingletown and the greater Bay Area for 5 years. The gallery has been referred to as a hidden gem in Jingletown, and noted by Kenneth Baker, former SF Chronicle Art Critic, in his Visual Arts Don’t Miss Column as “…A space gaining prominence in the Bay Area…”   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 – in a non-traditional art space. A number of artists began their art career at Gray Loft Gallery.

“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

is a proud member of the Oakland Art Murmur, Jingletown Arts and Business Association and Oakland Grown.
