Aloft Art Gallery Is Moving! Grand Opening May 9, 2020
The Baers Building, Washington Street, Sonora
March 8, 2020. We were presented with a wonderful opportunity to move the Gallery into the landmark Baers building on Washington St. and we jumped at the chance! Sonora natives remember the building as Baers Clothing Store, run as a family business for over 50 years. More recently, it was an antique store. The current owner let it stand vacant for at least 10 years until his extensive renovation was finished in December. The interior is gorgeous! We will be open by May 1st. with a Grand Opening Event on 2nd Saturday Art Night, May 9th. Mark your calendar!
"Artists in the Window" February - March 2020
Aloft Art Gallery is featuring as “Artists in the Window,” two of our longtime gallery members, Renetta Hayes and Alexis Halstead.
Alexis Halstead’s work is inspired by the pottery of her Cheyenne roots, the Pueblo potters of northern New Mexico and Arts and Crafts designs of the early-twentieth century. Her work consists primarily of sculptural vessels: vases, pots and bowls. Alexis holds a BFA from San Francisco Art Institute and an MBA from Golden Gate University. She attended ceramics classes at Columbia and has studied traditional Native American coil construction and techniques in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Renetta’s painting career began 40 years ago with an art degree from San Jose State. After graduating she taught in a Fine Arts Mini School where she worked with her students developing their creativity. Serious painting started 20 years ago. Renetta and her partner built a new home in Jamestown and when she was fully retired from business they built a north-facing studio specifically for painting and quilting. Renetta won first prize in the Mother Lode Art Association 2019 Fine Art Show for her pastel painting, "After the Rain", which was also awarded "People's Choice".
