Gray Loft Gallery is delighted to present Night Vision - guest curated by Isaac Jasper Amala.  What happens when we can see with night vision?  Night Vision presents the work of nine artists whose diverse practices tune into subtle and fugitive wavelengths - revealing glimpses of the tender, haunting, kaleidoscopic, sensual, and expansive worlds hidden within us and around us.  On display will be painting, sculpture and mixed media works utilizing braided textile, collage, ceramic, driftwood, jellyfish, painting, and works on paper.

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, 2021 and voted one of five top art galleries in 2022.
