Join us for Slow Art Day on April 6th!
 
One day each year – this year April 6  – people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly. Participants look at works of art for 10 minutes each and then have a casual discussion about their experience.
That’s it...  And it's free.
Simple by design, the goal is to focus on art and the art of seeing.
Click 
here for more information about Slow Art Day.
We will be hosting Slow Art Day at the gallery from 1:30 to 3:00pm.
This will be a preview of Current Abstractions, which opens at 4:00 pm.

Email  us and we will send more information about
Slow Art Day at Gray Loft Gallery.
Limit of 12 participants.
Sign up today!


Send an email to register.  Space is limited.

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 7 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
