JG Art Gallery + Events opened on Bainbridge Island, Washington — a 35-minute ferry ride from Seattle — with a singular conviction: that the Pacific Northwest had been producing serious contemporary art for decades, and that the right gallery could place it in the conversation it deserved.
Four years ago, Jude Grenney acquired what had been Roby King Gallery and rebuilt it from the ground up — new identity, new curation standards, new voice. The gallery that exists today is entirely her own: the artists, the point of view, the program, the ambition. Roby King is a footnote. JG Art Gallery + Events is the story.
The expansion to Park City, Utah created something that had not existed before in either market: a program that opens simultaneously in two cities, giving collectors in both locations — and anywhere in the world — first access at the exact same moment. Every opening night. Same night. Everywhere.
The roster now stands at 46 artists. The program runs 12 exhibitions a year. The argument gets stronger every time a work sells to a collector who had never considered Pacific Northwest art before they walked through the door — or opened a browser — and saw what we had.
