Saturday, April 27 is  SLOW ART DAY

Sign up on the Slow Art Day website to join others at the Gray Loft Gallery from noon to 2:00 when we will be looking at and talking about the work in the show. Artists in the show will be present to discuss their work. A light lunch will be provided.  This event is free. Please sign up on the Slow Art Day website or contact the Gray Loft Gallery letting us know that you would like to participate in this day of celebrating art slowly.

The mission of the annual Slow Art Day movement is to encourage people to take the time to view art fully, to contemplate it.  Each visitor will look at a work of art for 5 to 10 minutes, and then move to the next piece. At the end of an hour we will discuss the art over lunch. Join us.

About the Gallery: 


Gray Loft Gallery acknowledges the achievements of emerging and established artists, with an emphasis on those who live and work in the Bay Area, in a non-traditional art space.  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.

The one-year old Gray Loft Gallery is a unique venue located on the 3rd floor of one of Oakland’s oldest artists’ work/live warehouses in the historic artist district Jingletown.
