Our 2nd Friday Jingletown Closing Reception is being held

 

 

 

With daily changes in the current climate of COVID-19, we are monitoring the developing situation.  At this time, the gallery is open and we are planning to hold our closing reception for the Art of the African Diaspora.
We know that many may not wish to venture out – but the closing reception will be minimally attended, and if you wish to stop by for a moment to help us celebrate this incredible show, please join us.

If you can't make the show, please consider buying one of your favorite pieces. This sustains the local creative economy during this time by supporting our artists and the gallery.  Please contact us and we can set up a private viewing before the show comes down on March 21.

We are taking all appropriate precautions to keep our visitors healthy, including frequent disinfecting of surfaces and will have hand sanitizers in the gallery.

Our policy is to follow the recommendations of the CDC, including encouraging our visitors to stay home if they don’t feel well.

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
