You are invited to the
Opening Reception of our 10th Anniversary Exhibit
 
THE  LOVE  SHOW

Opening Reception:  Saturday, February 12, 3:00 - 7:00 pm
Show dates:  February 12 – March 19, 2022

 

The 10th Anniversary Love Show celebrates the work of Bay Area artists who have been connected to the gallery the last 10 years. The exhibit will feature photography, paintings hand-blown glass and sculpture that explore the universal language of love. This is a visual dialogue about love in many interpretations - from literal depictions to metaphors.  Some of the pieces are purely about the love of art, and many were created specifically for the show.  The gallery will also have handmade jewelry on display and artesian chocolates made exclusively for the show.

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
