This dynamic 6,000-square-foot space, the vision of Peter Dreyfuss was created to bring together artists, galleries, and art lovers in one inspiring environment. The venue will house Gray Loft Uptown, alongside showrooms for 10 to 12 established local artists, offering a diverse and ever-evolving array of contemporary art.
“The idea behind The Orchard / Galleries on 25 is to create a space where creativity thrives and connections happen,” says founder Peter Dreyfuss. “Oakland’s art scene has incredible energy, and we’re thrilled to contribute a new home for artists and audiences to engage, collaborate, and celebrate.”
The Grand Opening celebration will feature live music by the Stephen Dreyfuss Duo, dance performance by Meghan Lowe Dancers, and, of course, a stunning array of visual art. Visitors can meet the artists, explore the new space, and experience firsthand the creative pulse that defines Oakland’s 25th Street art corridor.

Gray Loft Uptown, Suzy Barnard, Peter Dreyfuss, Nemo Gould, Lisa Levine, Fernanda Martinez, Yulia Pinkusevich, Anja Ulfeldt, Fernando Reyes, Meghan Shimek, Simone Simon, Tom White, and John Wood.
