The
inception of Stella Jones
Gallery in July, 1996, was the realization
of a dream. Long time friend and art historian, Dr. Samella
Lewis was an inspiration and serves as consultant and curator.
The gallery provides a venue for artists of the African
diaspora to exhibit superior works of art.
The gallery fulfills its educational goals through lectures,
panel discussions, intimate gallery talks and exhibitions
with artists in attendance.
Stella
Jones Gallery takes very seriously the responsibility,
of providing collectors, both private and corporate, with
art that is high in aesthetic quality and strong in investment
potential. The gallery is equally motivated to raise the
aspirations of African American youths by providing them
with a better understanding of their heritage through the
visual arts
Stella
Jones Gallery endeavors to be an important site
of both cultural and economic development in the local,
national, and international arts community. |

Stella Jones Gallery and the New Orleans arts community have lost a friend. JEFFREY COOK passed away on Tuesday, April 7, 2009 at his residence. He was 48 years old. Jeff, as he was called by those whose were close to him, was the consummate artist. He had loads of creative spirit, in both the visual and performing arts. After the Katrina storm, he became a conservator of sorts, as he labored to bring back an important part of our world. His last gallery exhibition, collage combinations of old slave photographs and African sculptures, paid homage to the ancestors. He now joins them and will forever be remembered for making our world a lot better. |
