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.
