JK Art & Design Projects
Founded by Kate Vogel and Jeff Lincoln, JK Art & Design Projects weaves together past and present seminal voices in art and design with the mission of highlighting multidisciplinary practices that resist categorization. The gallery serves as a platform — and a cultural hub and a springboard for creative exchange.— for experimentation, craftsmanship, and evolution in the field. Through exhibitions, workshops, installations, and community-driven programming, this project aims to shed light on the East End’s enduring legacy in shaping contemporary art and design discourse.
