I purchased several prints from here - including the pictured one of the cats wearing fish heads - and several cards as well. Everything is beautiful, handmade, and original.

The items are so diverse. There are many cat-themed items -- not cat lady items, more like "cat dude" items. It's close to the Ashby Bart and the people seem very friendly and low key. They have some wonderful and reasonable art, lots of cool prints. I couldn't tell when they are open, but think it's worth a call if you are looking for a unique gift or artwork for your own space.

They also hold art and craft classes for adults and children, and poetry readings on most Friday nights, too. Paintings, ceramics, photography... there's a small sculpture garden in the back, too. Go check it out, if you're in the area! They're like a block from the Ashby BART station.

Amy Jo does pet portraits and some of her pieces are being shown at the gallery for their "Animals & Sea Creatures" show which is going on right now.

The owner, Rinna, has coupled with Hopalong Animal Rescue to have a couple of benefits, which is such a great idea - the next one is on 7/25, so check it out!

This is my first time here. I decided to walk around and found this gallery. Now, I like Art and…read moreI immediately saw a pencil drawing of Jim Morrisson from The Doors. Wooooo, that piqued my interest and decided to scroll through the rest of the stack. This artist had The Rolling Stones, John Lennon, janis Joplin, Jerry Garcia. All great work. The small ones were $40.00 while the large ones were $100 already matted. I was so tempted to buy one, but then I had to remember how in the heck can I carry that on the train without it getting bent. I decided not to buy right away and just browse, admire the ART in this gallery. There is a cool photography exhibit of Oakland from the 1960's. Nothing has changed, it showed protestors with signs wanting equal rights, pay, and protection. The same issues that are going on today. The photographer is Howard Harawitz and it's worth checking out. Next I turned the corner and saw some surreal art of Humpty Dumpty by Brian Clarke/Les Toil. Then turn to my right and there's this bright, vibrant Art from Pete Escobedo. Now if you don't know who he is, then you're living under a rock. Not only he is an Oakland, Bay area native, he's also one of best Latin Percussionist of all time and the father of Sheila E. His art is just as colorful as his Timbale playing. Next on the wall is Art representing San Franciso, Oakland landmarks such as The Grand, Castro, and The Fox theaters. Wow, she's pricey on canvas, but they're really good. The one with Golden Gate bridge on Canvas and framed is selling for $3500. See attached pictures for her wall section and prices. Walk a little further and I see more colorful ART and it's very familiar to me, like I've this artwork on some Album covers for some rockbands. The artist name is Stanley Mouse and under his name is a poster for a rock festival and the Pegasus used on one of Steve Miller's album covers. Keep on Rockin' me Baby. Wow this is some cool stuff if you have a Vinyl room. I kept walking and saw this wall sculputue/wall art made of wire. That artis name is Diane Komater. This probably took a long time and looks harder to make than the average person thinks. All it is, is a wire. Yah, but it's unique. Go on Diane with your creative self. :) I did find something I could take and it's postcards of Oakland's Grafitti called Oaktown Be Mine by Malcolm Ryder. I dont know about you, but I'm not scared by grafitti art, I actually like it and can appreciate the time and thought that goes into some of these pieces. Whoever these night time creative elfs are, I appreciate yah. That's it for Oakland Art appreciation day at the Grand Gallery. Next time you're at Yoshi's or the World Market stop by and pay a visit. See you some more on Yelp 2026

For those who don't know, AI generated images exist because the machines that render them steal actual artists' work. They also use an extraordinary amount of power and water which drains our resources and makes our utilities more expensive. It's trash and it doesn't belong next to human art work. I can't believe the other artists displaying there accept this.

Weird experience. Manager tried charging me more then tried to take item away…read more I was looking at an old organizer case (with smaller organizer containers within) and the manager hovered over me while I was looking at it. I was interested in buying it and was debating buying the second one (without the smaller containers) but as I went to keep shopping and think about it he stopped me and said he needed to "reprice it" because he made a mistake. He wanted to make it more expensive because of the smaller organizers that came with the case. I indicated the sign that said no repricing and that the one without the internal containers was cheaper (indicating it was already priced to include the smaller containers) he proceeded to open it up (while I was still holding it) and taking the smaller containers out saying that he would sell them individually. Had to talk him into keeping it together and at the original price. Annoying experience. Unlikely to come back, would rather go to East Bay Depot in Oakland where the prices are better and staff friendlier.

It's on the third floor. The co-working space also houses a software business. The art is on the walls throughout the space. The art involves an interesting selection that I found stimulating. It is contemporary and difficult to conceive making. It did not seem to house major artists, but some artists that need a boost. Mirus Gallery has some events at times, but I had my visit today..and that is enough for a while. It's nice that they included the gallery with the Yerba Buena community day.

We wanted to see more of their featured artist (Sandra Chevrier) so we visited them in SF a few days later. When we got there, Tim remembered us from the art fair and let us browse the amazing space. The entry lobby is on the first floor but 90% of the gallery is hidden away on the third floor, which has long walls and lots of diffused natural light. We were able to enjoy the whole show and never felt rushed or pressured to buy. I emailed them a bit later and they were quick to respond. I'm glad I found a new gallery that shows cool artists and treats visitors as long term customers.
