Gray Loft Gallery ~ SUMMER SALON


 






SUMMER  SALON

July 24 – September 7, 2020

 
Due to the global pandemic, the physical gallery is currently closed, but we are delighted to present an online experience for your viewing pleasure.  SUMMER SALON is our annual celebration of summer - and this year we are presenting this exhibit as an online group show of gallery artists featuring painting, mixed media, ceramics, photography and jewelry by Bay Area artists.

Please visit our website
 to see the gallery.

We hope you enjoy this group show that celebrates not only summer, but the importance of art in our lives. Your support of our artists and the gallery is paramount as we navigate this uncertain time in our lives.

 


In Solidarity 
 
Gray Loft Gallery stands in solidarity with our Black brothers and sisters in the fight for justice and political reform.   The ART world would not be what it is today if it weren't for Black creators, thinkers and doers. We hope that our supporters will stand strong with us and fight for what's right.

For purchases made in the next two weeks, we will donate 10% of the profits to Black Lives Matter.  Please let us know if there is something from The Art of the African Diaspora exhibit in February or works from previous shows that you would be interested in.


 Saving Gray Loft Gallery...

If you are able to help support the gallery during this uncertain time, please visit our GoFundMe page.  This would mean so much to us - and to the community of artists and the art lovers who rely on the gallery to exhibit the beautiful and meaningful shows in our unique and aesthetic space.

We look forward to being able to celebrate with you when this pandemic is over!

With gratitude and thanks.


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
