Jude
Grenney.
Thirty years of looking at art. She opened her first gallery in Park City in 2002. She’s still doing it, across two locations, with the same eye she started with.
“I love to exhibit work that reveals the hand of the artist. Technique fascinates me — I’m drawn to artists who do things a little differently.”
Jude grew up in Logan, Utah and studied communications at Northwestern University. She moved to Park City in 1991 and spent a decade working for seven galleries — including Coda Gallery on Main Street — before opening Phoenix Gallery in 2002. That gallery became J GO Gallery in 2010, moved to the 4,000-square-foot Rockwell Listening Room in 2018, survived the pandemic by running yoga classes and Facetime art shows, and eventually acquired Roby King Gallery on Bainbridge Island, Washington in late 2022.
The Bainbridge acquisition was strategic. Park City’s gallery season peaks in winter; Bainbridge Island’s peaks in summer. The last Friday gallery stroll in Park City; the first Friday art walk on Bainbridge. Two markets, opposite schedules, one curatorial voice.
In 2024, J GO Galleries became JG Art Gallery + Events. Jude now represents 52 artists across both locations, serves on Park City’s City Council, and still answers her own email.
