ABOUT  GRAY  LOFT  GALLERY

Gray Loft Gallery - voted "Best Art Gallery"  two years in a row - 2016  & 2017 - in the Oakland Magazine Readers' Choice Award - has promoted the rich art culture of Jingletown and the greater Bay Area for 7 years. The gallery has been referred to as a hidden gem in Jingletown, and noted by 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

Please join us for the artists' reception
this Saturday, April 7th, 4:00 to 6:30 pm.


Gray Loft Gallery is extremely pleased to present Magnificent, a group show that celebrates large-scale work by Bay Area artists.  The pieces in the exhibit include painting, mixed media, photography and sculpture.  Chosen not only for their scale - but also for their visual impact - the works have an intensity, significance and brilliance.  The exhibit hopes to inspire viewers to explore the experience of viewing large two- and three-dimensional artwork in a gallery setting.

Join us for Slow Art Day!  
One day each year – this year April 14  – people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly. Participants look at five works of art for 10 minutes each and then meet together over lunch to talk about their experience.
That’s it.
Simple by design, the goal is to focus on the art and the art of seeing.
