Jenkins Johnson Gallery

Jenkins Johnson strives to create space for underrepresented artists, curators and thinkers. Since our founding we have emerged as a hub for critically acclaimed curators and artists of color. In 2017 the gallery opened Jenkins Johnson Projects in Brooklyn, furthering our mission on the east coast. Jenkins Johnson builds the careers of artists of color through museum and private acquisitions, critical reviews, international art fairs and exhibitions. The gallery hosts “Conversations on Culture” with artists, collectors and writers on current art world topics, with over 1,500 attendees. The gallery’s principal, Karen Jenkins-Johnson, is one of a small, but influential group of Black American gallerists. She is a 2021 ARTNews Deciders, 2020 Artnet Innovator and Observer Art Power 50. Ms. Jenkins- Johnson is a member of the board of trustees of the University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, Washington.
