After 15 years in downtown Fairfield, Connecticut, the J. Russell Jinishian Gallery, The Nation’s Largest Gallery Specializing in fine Contemporary and Antique Marine and Sporting Art from Europe and America, is pleased to announce our move to 1899 Bronson Road in the Greenfield Hill section of Fairfield, just two miles from our old location. We’ve transformed the former Fairfield County Bank building into a unique art gallery featuring our extensive inventory of over 1,000 paintings, drawings, sculptures, ship models and scrimshaw, by over 100 of the world’s leading marine and sporting artists, including Christopher Blossom, Donald Demers, A.D. Blake, Joseph McGurl, Tim Thompson, and John Stobart. Mr. Jinishian says “In this great new space, visitors can view artists’ works like never before. I invite you to come and enjoy some of the greatest marine artists of our time.” Through close contacts with the world's top marine and sporting artists developed over the past 30 years, the J. Russell Jinishian Gallery is proud to be able to offer discriminating collectors unparalleled access to the very best marine and sporting art available in the market at any time. If you’re looking for something with special personal significance, the gallery will help to arrange a unique commissioned work of art. A special service is also available to help collectors sell work from their collections. Changing exhibitions and opportunities to meet the artists are offered throughout the year.
Gallery hours: Tuesday - Saturday, 11am - 5pm or by appointment.

The J. Russell Jinishian Gallery's new location is one hour from New York City along the Connecticut coast. By automobile, just off 1-95. By train take Metro North to Fairfield Station. It is a ten-miute taxi ride to the gallery.  Click here for a printable map and directions.
