ABOUT  GRAY  LOFT  GALLERY
 

Gray Loft Gallery has promoted the rich art culture of Jingletown and the greater Bay Area for 9.5 years. The gallery has been referred to as a hidden gem in Jingletown, and noted by the late 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 join me at the Closing Reception 

for my two-person show
Radiant Landscape at 

Gallery at the Werkshack
on Saturday, December 4, 2:00 - 4:00 pm.

Radiant Landscape harmoniously brings together the work of photographers Francis Baker and Jan Watten.  Both artists are engaged with unique approaches to image making using analog film and lumen printing. With light as their primary medium, the beauty of these tranquil observations express the importance of conservation and a celebration of life.
Jan Watten captures the natural world around her in black and white with a medium format film camera, seizing the moment into contemplative and lyrical images.
Francis Baker constructs exquisite photograms using natural elements and single-use plastic gleaned from his surroundings. The results of this exploration are beautiful.

This exhibit was curated by Christine Ferrouge.

We look forward to seeing you then!
