Among the Trees
brings together a stunning and diverse collection of art that captures
the essence of trees and nature by 25 Bay Area artists. This exhibit
offers a diverse collection of art that delves into the intricate
relationship between humanity and nature, while also addressing the
pressing realities of climate change affecting our forests.
Trees
have always held a symbolic power as icons of life, growth, and
resilience. Standing steadfast through changing seasons, they embody
strength and endurance, providing sanctuary and nourishment to countless
species. Across cultures, trees are revered for their wisdom and their
role in the perpetual cycle of life, reminding us of our origins and the
importance of nurturing our environment.
This
exhibition not only celebrates the artistic talent of our local
community but also invites meaningful conversations about the
environment and our responsibility to preserve it.

ABOUT GRAY LOFT GALLERY
Gray Loft
Gallery has promoted the rich art culture of Jingletown and the greater
Bay Area for 12 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. We are proud that many 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 and 2023.
