Founded by Karen Jenkins-Johnson in 1996, Jenkins Johnson Gallery is one of the country's leading Black-owned galleries, dedicated to expanding the canon with artists of the African diaspora and other underrepresented voices; artists have included Gordon Parks, Ming Smith, and Lava Thomas. It also runs Jenkins Johnson Projects in Brooklyn (opened 2017). After roughly two decades at 464 Sutter Street near Union Square, the gallery relocated to 1275 Minnesota Street in Dogpatch's Minnesota Street Project, its home as of 2026.
