A contemporary art gallery in uptown Oakland, CA featuring painting and photography from the Bay Area and beyond.
Founded in 2009 in a Victorian storefront in Temescal, SLATE contemporary is now located in the heart of Oakland's Uptown gallery district, on 25th street. SLATE curates themed group exhibitions that run for 8 weeks each. The gallery features work by a core stable of Bay Area emerging and mid-career painters and photographers, but brings in artists working in other media and artists from other cities on occasion. We favor art that has a strong formal aspect and an intellectual component. SLATE is open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday afternoons, mid-week by appointment, and every First Friday in the evening from 6–9pm. Please see our web page www.slateart.net for information on additional special events, including Saturday receptions, artist talks, and tours.
