10 Connect :: A Group Show of Ten Artists

Through May 25
510-499-3445

The artistic community that inhabits the Gray Loft Gallery (2889 Ford St. Oakland) marks the thirtieth anniversary of that alternative space with the show 10 Connect. The multimedia exhibit -- featuring work by ten artists, all women and longstanding friends -- is destined to become a benchmark in the Jingletown art scene. Back in 1982, the artists, many of whom have gone on to very prestigious careers, all lived in this building together. Photographer Jan Watten has recently transformed her studio into a very comfortable, well-lit gallery. While eclectic, the work is clearly cohered by the artists' history, yet individual works of genius can be found throughout. The gallery only keeps regular hours on Saturday afternoons, but appointments are available. 10 Connect runs through May 25. 510-499-3445 or GrayLoftGallery.Blogspot.com
