In 2024 we wrapped up a productive year and the Jonathan Club acquired eight new contemporary photographic works for the Beach Club, which we helped oversee. A variety of beach and water themed pieces by local photographers Michael James Hillman, Natalja Kent, Mike Lundgren, and Grafton Tanquary now adorn the newly refurbished Penthouse’s walls. Collecting from contemporary artists is an invaluable way to support their careers. On February 27th we will host another highly anticipated event with an unveiling reception with many of the artists in attendance.

A virtual docent tour of art at the Jonathan Club is presented in this video, expertly hosted by past and present JAF presidents Rich Reitzell, Judy Jenkins, and Dale-Harbour Day. We thank the University of Irvine School of Social Sciences and Ashley Media for their support on this project.

Despite the challenges we've all experienced these past couple of years, our belief that world class art is timeless remains unshaken, and we have come to more fully appreciate our magnificent collection. The Jonathan Art Foundation in its quiet way ensures that our collection is protected, preserved, and beautifully presented. We also use our knowledge, relationships and judgment to improve and strengthen the collection in ways that enhance our facilities in Downtown LA and Santa Monica. Your donations help us maintain that mission.
