About Jingletown
Among other notable artistic enterprises, it is the location of a
number of galleries, including
Gray Loft Gallery, Jingletown Art Studios
and Gallery and 4:20 Gallery, as well as studios of many renowned
artists who are living and working in one of the most recognized
artists’ warehouse districts in Oakland.
The moniker Jingletown came from turn of the century when Portuguese
cannery workers whose earnings would “jingle” in their pockets at the
end of the day as they walked home from the factories in the area. Many
of those canneries and factories closed and the neighborhood went into
disuse, but in the early 1980’s artists realized the potential and
converted many of the neglected warehouses into functioning live/work
spaces. It is now a flourishing artist community in the Bay Area.
The goal of the Jingletown Arts and Business Community is to heighten
awareness about the rich and diverse population of working and
exhibiting artists in the neighborhood, and to promote creative
opportunities in the Jingletown Arts District. Visitors to this historic
arts district will see colorful mosaic murals on converted warehouse
walls, intersection street painting art and the Peterson Street
Community Wall, which features murals by many of the residents of
Jingletown.
