Jacob O'Kelley

Jacob O’Kelley is an artist, curator, and gallery owner living and working in Atlanta. He received his BFA in Drawing, Painting, and Printmaking from Georgia State University in 2016. Post graduation, O’Kelley was an intern for Sandler Hudson Gallery, and a studio assistant to WAP Fellow, Krista Clark at MOCA GA. In late 2018, he and his gallery partner, Abigail Justman, began production on a temporary, experimental, artist-run space based on challenging contemporary curation. Influenced by BauHaus, the New Museum, Eyedrum, and the Zuckerman, ShowerHaus began in early 2019 at the Goat Farm Arts Center. Since then O’Kelley and Justman have exhibited six shows in our space as well as created the concept, curated, and directed the High Rise Show this past October. They have plans for three more shows in the space by the end of the year. Showerhaus will become a permanent space in 2020.
