We are very pleased to present Kindred Spirits – a group show of analog photography featuring the work of Bay Area photographers – which includes images from a wide array of traditional and alternative photographic processes – including pinhole photography, images made with Polaroid and plastic cameras, tin-types, and other film-based works. This exhibit is a celebration of film and embraces the unexpected and treasured qualities of this medium. We hope you will stop by to view these beautiful examples of this photography renaissance.

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
