Our Story
JG Art Gallery is a contemporary fine art gallery with two physical locations — Bainbridge Island, Washington and Park City, Utah — and a collector reach that extends well beyond either coast. The program is curated, the artists are known to us, and every work that leaves the gallery leaves with a research file behind it.
The program
The decision a gallery makes — over and over, exhibition after exhibition — is which artists to put on the wall and which conversations to keep open. We have been making that decision in the Pacific Northwest for decades. Some of the artists on our roster have been with us for most of that time. Others arrived recently and are doing the strongest work of their careers right now.
The program is not built around price points or movements. It is built around artists whose practices we trust and whose work the gallery can stand behind. Most of them work in the Pacific Northwest or the Mountain West. A few work elsewhere and ship in. All of them know us by name and we know them.
What sits behind every show is the same proposition: a curated room, a maker who is present in their statement, and a research file that follows the work. A gallery's job is to have an opinion, document it, and stand by it. We try to do that, exhibition after exhibition.
What the gallery is built on
The roster is fifty represented artists, plus invited artists for specific shows. Every person on it is someone we know personally and whose practice we follow. The Collection is what those artists have made available — not a marketplace.
Every work carries a gallery research file: medium, dimensions, year, exhibition history, condition, attribution opinion, and whatever provenance documentation we have been able to source. For higher-stakes works, the file expands into a full investigation. We tell collectors what we know, where we found it, and what remains uncertain.
Inquiries are answered by the gallery — not by a queue, not by a chatbot. Acquisitions above a small threshold are conversations, not checkouts. The gallery's value to a collector is partly the artist relationships, partly the research, and partly the long memory across decades of placing work.
Where we work
176 Winslow Way. The Pacific Northwest room — a 35-minute ferry from Seattle, then a few minutes on foot. Exhibitions open on First Friday Art Walk, a Bainbridge tradition the island has kept for years. Our Bainbridge program inherits the legacy of the Roby King Gallery, whose program we acquired and continue.
Bainbridge gallery2870 Prospector Avenue. The Mountain West room — Prospector Square, forty minutes from Salt Lake City International. Exhibitions open on Park City Gallery Stroll, last Friday of every month. The Park City room runs the same program as Bainbridge, sometimes simultaneously, sometimes one room ahead.
