Frequently Asked Questions

How it works.

Last updated: April 25, 2026. The questions below come from collector and visitor conversations across thirty years. If yours isn't here, write to info@jgartgallery.com directly.

Buying a Work

How do I buy a work I've seen on the website?

Click "Inquire" on the artwork page and send a message, or email the gallery directly. We confirm current availability and pricing within one business day. Payment is by wire transfer, certified check, or major credit card. We hold a work for 48 hours after a serious inquiry.

Are prices final?

Listed prices are firm. Trade program members and collector portal members may receive program-specific terms. Multi-work acquisitions are discussed directly.

Can I pay over time?

Yes. We offer 30, 60, and 90-day payment plans on works above $5,000, with the work shipped after final payment unless otherwise arranged. Longer terms are available for established collectors.

Do you accept commissions?

Some artists on our roster accept commissions. We facilitate the conversation, scope, and timeline. Commission deposits are non-refundable; balance due on delivery and approval. Allow 8–24 weeks depending on medium and scale.

Visiting the Gallery

Do I need an appointment?

No. Both locations are open daily except Tuesday, 12–5 PM. Extended private viewings outside those hours are available by arrangement — request through the collector portal or contact the gallery directly.

Is there parking?

Bainbridge Island: street parking on Winslow Way and surrounding blocks. Park City: dedicated parking on Prospector Avenue. Both locations are wheelchair accessible.

Authentication and Provenance

How is provenance documented?

Every work sold by JG ships with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist or the gallery, full ownership chain from the artist's studio forward, condition documentation, and high-resolution archival photography. Records are maintained in perpetuity and reissued on resale.

Will the gallery help me sell a work I bought from you?

Yes. Works originally placed by JG retain priority for resale through the gallery — generally on consignment, with the gallery's standard commission. Our records make resale straightforward.

Shipping and International

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. See the shipping page for details on crating, insurance, and customs handling.

What's the return policy?

Purchases on approval may be returned within 14 days. See the returns page for full terms. Commissions and works personalized for the buyer are final sale.

Staying Connected

How do I hear about new exhibitions?

Register for the collector portal for advance notice 48 hours before each opening, or join the general mailing list at the bottom of any page. Both are no-spam — opening announcements and significant artist news only.

Are you on social media?

Instagram is our most active channel. We document new work, exhibition installations, and artist studios there. The website remains the canonical inventory.

Other

Do you exhibit at art fairs?

Selectively. Fair appearances are announced through the collector portal and on the exhibitions page when scheduled.

Can I propose representation as an artist?

The roster is curated and grows slowly. We do not accept unsolicited submissions, but if you are an artist whose work we have already followed, write to jude@jgartgallery.com directly.
