The Point of View

Oil on canvas anchors the program — 415 works across painters who know this light, this land, this sky. Bronze sculpture at the serious end. Mixed media that refuses clean categories. Watercolor, encaustic, print, collage. The median work is made by someone who has been in the studio for decades. The newest voice has shown us something we had not seen before. Both belong here.

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.

What We Believe
The standards that
don't change.
01
The Work Comes First
Every artist on the roster is here because the work demanded it. Not because they were available. Not because they were local. Because standing in front of it, there was no argument to be made against showing it.
02
Collectors Deserve Access
Every work is available to every collector on opening night — in person in Bainbridge Island, virtual in Park City, online anywhere in the world. No waiting lists. No first-tier buyers. Same access. Same night.
03
The Program Has to Mean Something
Twelve exhibitions a year — each one with a title, a argument, a reason to exist beyond filling wall space. Ars Poetica. Material Mediations. Sanctuary. Look Again. Every show is a proposition.
04
The Bio Is the Artist's Legacy
Every artist on the roster has a biography written at the level their career deserves — specific, factual, critic-register. No unearned adjectives. No press release language. The work described as the eye actually sees it.
05
Geography Is Not a Limitation
Bainbridge Island and Park City are the anchors. The audience is the world. A collector in London, Tokyo, or São Paulo has the same access on opening night as someone who walks off the Bainbridge ferry.
06
The Argument Is Ongoing
Pacific Northwest art belongs in the same conversation as New York and Los Angeles. We have been making that argument since we opened. Every work that sells to a serious collector makes it stronger.

The Curator
Jude
Grenney
Owner & Curator · JG Art Gallery + Events™

Jude Grenney has spent four years building JG Art Gallery + Events into something the Pacific Northwest art market had not seen before: a gallery with a singular point of view, a serious program, and the infrastructure to reach collectors anywhere in the world.

She finds artists at studio tours, art festivals, and through years of looking — the kind of sustained attention that produces a roster of 46 artists, each chosen because the work demanded it. Her eye runs from Gary Groves's 50-year Bainbridge Island woodcut practice to Ross Collado's raw abstract expressionism to Taralee Guild's hyper-realist oil paintings of Airstreams in the California desert.

The two-location simultaneous opening model is her invention. The critic-voice biography standard is her standard. The argument — that Pacific Northwest art belongs in the same conversation as New York and Los Angeles — is her argument.

"The work is made. The argument is ongoing."
Jude Grenney · JG Art Gallery + Events™
Come see the argument
in person.

Bainbridge Island is a 35-minute ferry ride from Seattle. The gallery is a short walk from the ferry terminal on Winslow Way. Park City is open year-round, with virtual openings every show night. Both locations. Same program. Every collector has first access.
