COL Gallery was founded in 2023 by Callie Jones and Julia Li in historic Ghirardelli Square, a bayside landmark since 1862, a Lawrence Halprin-designed community space, and home of Ruth Asawa's first public work. COL is a project-based, contemporary gallery with an emphasis on emerging voices and creating cross generational connections. 

 

Jones previously served as a Director at Skarstedt and Fergus McCaffrey Gallery in New York and at Jessica Silverman Gallery in San Francisco. For the past decade, Jones has focused on artist development and representation while creating close relationships with numerous private collectors and institutions, working both domestic and international fairs including Art Basel, Frieze London, TEFAF Maastricht, among others. 

 

Li was the inaugural Director of Inclusion and Belonging at the Asian Art Museum, where she developed and implemented the museum's first diversity, equity, access and inclusion strategy. Li is dedicated to championing underserved voices and artists with powerful stories to tell. She is also the founder of Create Space Generator, a nonprofit creative entrepreneurship incubator.
