JG Contemporary - London based Art Gallery and Creative Agency
JG Contemporary – Our Story
Located in the heart of Acton, West London, JG Contemporary is an independent art gallery dedicated to contemporary art and public art projects.
Our journey began in 2010 in North Acton as West London Art Factory a screen printing workshop and artists studio spaces. Through pop-up showcases across London, we built a reputation for supporting emerging and established artists. In 2017, JG Contemporary launched as an online gallery, leading to the opening of our physical space in Poet’s Corner, Acton in 2019.
Our gallery represents multidisciplinary artists, with roots in pop, street, and urban art, while embracing a diverse range of artistic expressions. We host exhibitions featuring contemporary artists working across various mediums, offering a space where creativity can thrive.
Beyond the gallery, we are committed to public art and community engagement. From murals by internationally renowned street artist Fin DAC to Matt Small’s portrait of Jamal Edwards MBE, crafted entirely from recycled materials, we continue to champion impactful art in public spaces.
At JG Contemporary, every exhibition and project is an opportunity to explore new perspectives and celebrate artistic expression. Whether through gallery shows, public murals, or collaborations, we strive to make art accessible, engaging, and part of the community.

Our history
2019
While working on Fin DAC's Shisöka mural for Acton Unframed on the wall of Fed and Watered, we fell in love with Acton's Poet's Corner community and noticed the space opposite the mural being redeveloped. Shortly after JG Contemporary opened its doors in its current location on Churchfield Road in December 2019. The rest as they say is history.
2017
Jewel Goodby Contemporary launched at Moniker International Art Fair as part of the fair's Young Gallery Program. With Fin DAC as our highlight artist, we got the attention of the Financial Times, made it to the 3rd page of The Times and won the hearts of many collectors in urban contemporary art. We exhibited at the next editions of Moniker Art Fair in London and New York until 2019.
2011-17
Over the next few years, we had lots of fun taking Factory Project Pop-ups and events to various Venus in London, including Red Bull Studios, The Hospital Club, Loft Studios and Muse Gallery in Portobello Road. We showcased a wide range of artists throughout the years, and still work with some of the artists we met during our Factory Projects.
2011
Our first event was the Factory Project at Red Bull Studios in July 2011. We exhibited art, had live bands and organised a live paint session by some of the best street artists at the time, including Fin DAC and Stik. It was a true road blocker.
2010
Our art journey started when we set up West London Art Factory in North Acton in October 2010. What was meant to be originally a studio space and a screen printing workshop for Jewel alone, eventually became 22 artist studios in Park Royal.
