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 ReviewGray 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 GALLERYis a proud member of the Oakland Art Murmur andJingletown Arts and Business Association.Hours: Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays by appointment2889 Ford Street, third floor, Oakland CA 94601Not wheelchair accessible.

Summer Salon @ the Gray Loft Gallery closes

~


The Gray Loft Gallery ended the exhibition, Summer Salon, with the usual bang at the gallery's closing reception for the show, (links below).        

Dick Winter came through once again when he poured the special wine created at the Alameda based Rock Wall Wine Company.

And Rachel LaPell gave what she calls her ArtTalk, an improvised performance referencing the works in the exhibition (link below).

Steve Nakashima & John Wood
















Leslie Frierman Grunditz showed and explained to me the fascinating signifiers present in her & her husband, Ake's "sculpture"/installation piece. They both decided they needed to document the history behind the piece; I think it's a fantastic idea. Go for it Kids!
