Wine Tasting...Pretty in Pink...and Art of the African Diaspora





Join us for a tasting of award winning Tessier Wines this
Saturday from 3:00 - 5:00 pm.

Art and wine make a perfect pairing - especially while sipping rose and viewing the incredible photos in our exhibit that celebrates all things photographically pink!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Pretty in Pink
 
Pretty In Pink  - the sixth in our series of annual color-themed photo shows - is on view until February 24th.  On display is a vibrant group photography show with an impressive collection of elegant and stunning shades of pink. Images on view include mixed media, alternative processes, color imagery and hand-colored photographs.
 Juried by Ann Jastrab, Executive Director, Center for Photographic Art; and Jan Watten, founder, Gray Loft Gallery.

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.
