PAST EXHIBITIONS

Jordan Faye Contemporary was established in November of 2006, but it’s story is rich in curatorial  history and entrepreneurial spirit. The background to JFC begins with the history of artist, Jordan Faye Block. Ms. Block received a BFA in Printmaking, a minor in Art History from Plymouth State University in Plymouth, New Hampshire; Block also received an MFA in painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art.  While at Plymouth State Ms. Block founded the PIP Gallery, a university-supported organization that aimed to educate young artists about a variety of professional issues such as: marketing one’s work, preparing for exhibitions, advertising shows, and networking with the local community at large. After running the PIP Gallery for three years, Ms. Block was able to procure an internship position working for Sotheby’s Inc. in New York City, where she obtained extensive knowledge about the art market.

In Baltimore, Ms. Block co-founded, Gallery Imperato, a contemporary commercial gallery located in the Federal Hill area of Baltimore City, where she served as the director and curator. During her two-year tenure, the gallery featured fifteen exhibitions that showcased the work of over sixty-five artists, all of which received favorable reviews by the Baltimore / DC metropolitan area press. With this venture Ms. Block built a serious-forum for contemporary art to be seen, reviewed, and purchased.

In late 2006 Ms. Block launched Jordan Faye Contemporary which has continued to be a great success, and has earned Ms. Block a formidable reputation as a gallerist and curator.
