Winter Salon
We invite you to visit our online exhibit Winter Salon
to celebrate the season with us. This virtual online group show of
gallery artists includes painting, mixed media and photography by Bay
Area artists.
Endings and darkness… as we enter this new season we encourage you to rest and reflect on the art in this show. 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.
We also believe that giving art is a way to support local artists and galleries.
Please visit our website to view the gallery of art and contact us if you are interested in purchasing work from this show.

The Meaning of Green
The Meaning of Green is 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.
This virtual exhibit of green inspired images from a wide array of traditional and alternative photographic processes includes pinhole photography, images made with plastic cameras, cyanotypes, collage, and other photo-based works by Bay Area photographers.
An excerpt of Ann Jastrab's jurors statement: “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.”

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
