ABOUT  GRAY  LOFT  GALLERY
 

Gray Loft Gallery has promoted the rich art culture of Jingletown and the greater Bay Area for 10 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

Gray Loft Gallery has received "Best Art Gallery" in the Oakland Magazine's Readers Choice Award in 2016, 2017 and 2021.           

    

Hours:  Saturday, March 19, 3:00 - 7:00pm

We are still celebrating our 10th Anniversary! Join us this weekend for a 2nd Saturday Art Tour and/or an afternoon of wine tasting in the gallery. Scroll down for more information.   THE  LOVE  SHOW on view until March 19, 2022 This Saturday! Join us for an Oakland Art Murmur hosted event "Jingletown Originals" led by Gray Loft Gallery curator and the artists in our historic Jingletown live/work building.   The tour will meet at Gray Loft Gallery at 2:00 pm where visitors will see our 10th Anniversary Love Show. The tour will continue with an insider's look at installation artist Ruth Boerefyn's newest work, the art filled studio of Tom White and Styrous, a view of videographer Kyung Lee’s work, a peek into the studio of jeweler Dorie Meister, ending at Sue Matthews' large scale paintings and a walk to the Peterson Street Mural wall. Please register for this free event here. We will also have a wine tasting by Jingletown's own Drawbridge Cellars from 4:00 - 5:30pm. Join us for a lively afternoon in Jingletown!   On view for only two more weeks - our 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.   FEATURED ARTISTS Isaac Amala, Steven Andresen, Francis Baker, Suzy Barnard, Ruth Boerefyn, Betty Jo Costanzo, Peter Dreyfuss, Shelley Gardner, Dari Gordon & Bruce Pizzichillo, Sarah Grew, Leslie Frierman Grunditz, Katie Hawkinson, Josie Iselin, Andrew Johnstone, Sherry Karver, Kate Kosmos, Jennifer LaPierre, Mary Ann Leff, Dulama LeGrande, Carol Lefkowitz, Javier Manrique, Lynn McGeever, Dorie Meister, Charles Moulton, Julia Nelson-Gal, Ginny Parsons, David Peniston, Jude Pittman, Johanna Poethig, Anne Rabe, Fernando Reyes, Jenny Sampson, Ron Saunders, Simone Simon, Styrous, Cuong Ta, Michael Teresko, Susan Tuttle, Tom White, Stephanie Williamson, John Wood, June Yokell   We hope you will join us as we continue to celebrate our 10th anniversary!
