The Vote

THE VOTE

Please join us for an interactive experience, The Vote, Saturday, September 17, 3:00 – 5:00 pm.  Created by performance artist Minoo Hamzavi, with a recorded short story reading by Patrick Dwyer, a live musical interlude by Claire Lavery and sound design for the evening by Styrous®.    
 
Minoo Hamzavi has been concerned about the state of things in our country for many years and inspired from the 1960's Fluxus movement, she wants to energize people and bring awareness to these fragile times in our world.  The audience can interact and express themselves in writing messages of hope and inspiration.  
Participation is optional!
 
We hope you will join us!

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.
