Meet the Jurors
Deep Space is a hyperlocal gallery with an international presence. Founded in 2016, it is run by curators Jenna Geiger and Keith VanPelt. The gallery hosts solo and group exhibitions year-round, featuring the work of ultra-contemporary emerging and mid-career artists, both self-taught and formally trained, based locally, nationally, and internationally.
Deep Space operates out of a two-level space on the industrial edge of Bergen Hill in Jersey City's Bergen-Lafayette neighborhood. The gallery also works with small businesses in other parts of the city and beyond to bring art into non-traditional spaces and invite those outside the art world in. Deep Space is committed to an art-for-all vision, where the language of visual art is unlimited and integrated into daily life.
Deep Space has staged multi-artist immersive installations at Spring/Break Art Fair during New York's annual Armory Week. It was one of 100 small tastemaker galleries from around the world invited to show in FOUNDATIONS Winter 2024, the inaugural seasonal exhibition hosted by the Artsy platform to spotlight rising talent. Along with participants from over 50 countries, Deep Space was invited by the European Cultural Centre's Italy satellite to exhibit in PERSONAL STRUCTURES 2024: Beyond Boundaries during the 60th annual Venice Biennale.
The gallery's online presence connects it with collectors and creatives, building a network without geographic limits. With an ethos of mutual support, inclusivity, and interconnectivity, artists and collectors have formed relationships with one another through the ever-expanding Deep Space community.
