This was my first time visiting the Gallery. I was there attended a closing reception for Famed Musician and Artist Pete Escovido (Shelia E's Dad) for those who don't know this small man is a Giant in the Jazz World. He has played & toured with some of the Greats and is a masterful Bandleader. Well respected and Well loved. I respectfully walked over and greeted him, we was very gracious to everyone who spoke with him. His family and friends and the attendees all sang Happy Belated Birthday (July 13th) he was in Paris. The event was very entertaining and educational. The art is breathtaking and moving. The Gallery has additional artists works on display in other rooms that are worth checking out also.

The Grand Gallery: Where Art Meets Awesomeness Tucked away in the vibrant Jack London Square, Oakland, CA, lies a treasure trove of creativity that's too good to miss – the Grand Gallery! By gracing this local hotspot with your presence, you're not only indulging in exceptional art but also fueling the creative engines of local artists and the community's artistic mojo. As you step into this kaleidoscope of color and creativity, you'll be greeted by a diverse collection of art that's as eclectic as a thrift store on a Sunday afternoon. Established and emerging artists unite, bringing their unique perspectives and voices to the table (or rather, the wall). The result is a visually stimulating experience that's sure to leave you awestruck and maybe even a little bit bewildered (in a good way, of course). But what truly sets the Grand Gallery apart is its commitment to community engagement – think art events, programs, and a general vibe that's more "come as you are" than "don your monocle and monocle-adjacent accessories." It's the perfect spot to discover new artists, appreciate art without feeling like you need a Ph.D. in art history, and maybe even make some new friends who share your passion for all things creative. Whether you're an art aficionado, a curious newbie, or just someone who loves a good Instagram opportunity, the Grand Gallery is a must-visit destination. By visiting, you'll be supporting local artists and contributing to the vitality of Oakland's art scene – and who knows, you might even find yourself in a masterpiece or two (just kidding, but wouldn't that be something?). Rating: 5/5 stars Recommendation: Time your visit with one of their events or exhibitions to experience the full spectrum of artistic talent and community spirit. And don't forget to bring your camera – you'll want to capture the magic!
