ABOUT  GRAY  LOFT  GALLERY
  Gray Loft Gallery has promoted the rich art culture of Jingletown and the greater Bay Area for 11 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.

Gray Loft Gallery ~ Vecinos! Muchisimas Gracias!!!



Thanks to everyone who came to the opening reception of Los Vecinos!  This exhibition is a group show which consists of work by artists living and working as neighbors in an historic artist building in Oakland.  The twelve artists, all who have had accomplished careers, have presented an eclectic yet cohesive group of work on display.

We had one of the best receptions ever.  If you missed it, please come by soon. The show is open only two more weekends.

Gallery hours: Saturday 1:00 to 5:00 and by appointment.

Call 510-499-3445 or email us to make an appointment to stop by.

Closing reception:  Saturday, February 1, which will feature a wine tasting by Rock Wall Wine Company. The gallery will stay open until 6:00 PM for the closing.

The gallery has been referred to as a hidden gem in Jingletown, and noted by Kenneth Baker, SF Chronicle, 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.

Feliz año nuevo from all of us at the Gray Loft Gallery!

Hasta pronto.
