Gray Loft Gallery presents The Meaning of Green,
our 3rd annual color themed photography show selected by Ann M.
Jastrab, independent curator, photography consultant, editor, writer;
and Jan Watten, founder of Gray Loft Gallery.
Due to the world-wide pandemic, this exhibit is a virtual online exhibit
of green inspired images from a wide array of traditional and
alternative photographic processes – including pinhole photography,
images made with plastic cameras, cyanotypes, collage, and other
photo-based works by Bay Area photographers.
We believe that art is essential component in our lives, and our
intention was to create an exhibit that could be a visual antidote
to the current climate of our world. In the words of juror Ann Jastrab “Maybe
this selection of images is an antidote to the pandemic too. I want to
fly high over a green pond, or see fireworks again exploding against a
night sky, or walk into rooms painted the coolest shades of green. Or
really, just walk into a room that is unfamiliar, what would that be
like? It would be like visiting this show.”
Participating Artists:
Art is essential -
now more than ever - and we hope you enjoy this exhibit that celebrates
the importance of art in our lives. Your support of the arts is so
important as we navigate this uncertain time in our lives. Please share
this with anyone you think might like to savor and contemplate the
beauty of the images in the show.
Please contact us if you are interested in purchasing work from this show.

“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
