JFM Arts is a contemporary pop-up gallery showcasing visual artists—painters, photographers, sculptors, and more—in temporary spaces like vacant real estate or public venues. It offers artists a platform to exhibit their work and provides art enthusiasts with the chance to view and purchase original artworks.
Our mission is to showcase a diverse range of artists—emerging, mid-career, and new—while supporting DEIB initiatives and promoting art appreciation and sales. A portion of each sale benefits a designated non-profit.
As of August 2025, JFM Arts has hosted three shows and worked with approximately ten artists. We aim to feature varied art styles, expand our community, hold two to four shows annually, and participate in one art fair within our first two years.
