| About Us
Jean Bragg opened her first antique shop in New Orleans
in 1979, specializing in Newcomb College Pottery, Louisiana paintings,
and hand-carved Louisiana duck decoys. Since 1980, she traveled
in the United States, participating in antique shows and lecturing
on Newcomb arts and crafts. In 1991, Bragg re-opened the Gallery
on Magazine Street, providing the best in Louisiana painting and
pottery to the collectors and museums across the country. She has
contributed to the body of knowledge about Newcomb College Art School
and the Louisiana art scene with various Gallery publications.
The Gallery's exhibitions of Southern Art acquaint the public with
the importance of the regional school in landscape and architectural
subjects. These Gallery shows, documented by full-color research
catalogs, significantly add to the history of art and art education
in the South.
In 2005, the Gallery relocated to the Arts District in the important
Julia Street Row. This 1830 building is listed on the National Register
of Historic Buildings. With this move, the Gallery will also showcase
contemporary artists to promote local talent and complement the
aims of the growing Arts District.
