About

JDG presents contemporary art by established and emerging artists, both national and international. The gallery has a strong interest in artists living and working on Cape Ann, Massachusetts, an area rich in artistic heritage. The superb light and rugged features of its coastline have long been an attraction for artists of international renown, among them Milton Avery, Marsden Hartley, John Marin, Arthur Dove, Edward Hopper, Stuart Davis to name a few. The contemporary work created in this area continues to be robust and innovative. The gallery also has a focus on contemporary Californian artists, and shows a selection of international artists working in the UK.

The Jane Deering Gallery first opened in 2002 on Cape Ann in Gloucester Massachusetts in a residential setting; viewing was by appointment only. A second gallery opened in Santa Barbara, California in 2011; exhibitions continued in California through 2014. In March 2016, JDG opened a new space in downtown Gloucester at 19 Pleasant Street and next door to the prestigious Cape Ann Museum. The Garage @ JDG (94 Elm Street, Concord MA) was opened in 2015. This small contemporary space is a short walk from Concord center. Hours are flexible; please call ahead. The gallery will also continue its presence on the internet via the gallery's website and images posted on Instagram.

The Gloucester gallery maintains a Flat File Project which holds works on paper by a wide range of artists. Flat File inventory changes frequently.
