Hey folks, we are now closed..which means we are no longer taking submissions.
Though we appreciate your continued enthusiasm for the gallery, please refrain from sending us packets, emails or inquiries about exhibiting and/or renting the gallery space.
The good news is there are many great galleries in Oakland that you can still approach.
thank you for your cooperation
