 We are thrilled to reopen with our group show Re-Envision, an exhibit of seven Bay Area artists which includes painting, photography, mixed-media and hand-blown glass.  Out of the Isolation of the past 18 months, these artists have created pieces that reflect resilience and dedication to their art.  

 

“While I have been making art during this pandemic, it has given me the space and my undivided attention to really dig deep and produce. Quarantine is not a new environment for an artist. I feel lucky to be able to work through and hopefully navigate these unprecedented times.”  Simone Simon

ABOUT  GRAY  LOFT  GALLERY

 

We are humbled and filled with gratitude about receiving "Best Art Gallery" in the 2021 Oakland Magazine Readers Choice Award!
Thank you all for your love support!  
 

Gray Loft Gallery has promoted the rich art culture of Jingletown and the greater Bay Area for 9 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
 

     

Hours:  Saturdays during exhibits: 1:00 - 5:00 and by appointment during the week.
Please email us to make an appointment.
Masks are required in the gallery.
