2026 marks the 25th anniversary of Madron Gallery. Madron’s scholarship driven programming creates exhibitions and publications that champion the work of significant, yet often lesser-known artists in the history of art.
With an interest in Jewish and Chicago artists, Madron’s inventory of 19th and 20th century paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, and prints—displayed en suite in our gallery alongside curated exhibitions of both historical and contemporary artists—illuminates artistic connections across decades.
Exhibition essays and publications from the in-house Madron Press are available online.
Free parking available.

Co-owned by the talented Chicago artist Laura Lee Junge and her husband / partner Chris Jackson, this gallery serves as an exclusive local venue for Junge’s captivating paintings and other exquisite works of art.
Before the gallery’s opening in the fall of 2009, Junge’s artwork was only available for limited viewing at her studio, seasonal art fairs, and through distributors outside of Chicago. Since then, the gallery has introduced Chicagoans to a dynamic hometown talent who has gained significant international recognition from art lovers and critics alike. While the spotlight shines on Junge, the gallery also showcases a diverse selection of works by other contemporary artists from Chicago and beyond.
Throughout the year, guest artist exhibits are hosted, adding to the variety of art on display. Located on a bustling section of Milwaukee Ave. just north of Division St. and south of North Ave., the Jackson Junge Gallery draws a diverse clientele. From the avid art collector to the casual admirer, visitors delight in the comfortable ambiance and welcoming atmosphere found within its walls.
In an effort to make art accessible to a wider audience, the gallery offers exceptional quality giclee reproductions and prints for purchase, alongside original pieces. The use of sophisticated technology ensures the production of superior quality prints. Furthermore, all Junge giclees are created in-house at the Jackson Junge Gallery and are subject to the artist’s personal inspection.
The Jackson Junge Gallery also provides a comprehensive range of custom framing services on-site. With the guidance of skilled craftsman and gallery co-owner Chris Jackson, customers can find the perfect mount, protection, and frame for their art, photography, and other treasured possessions. At the Jackson Junge Gallery, our mission is to create a dynamic cultural hub that celebrates the diversity of artistic expression.
We believe that art is an essential part of the human experience, and we are committed to bringing the joy and inspiration of the arts to everyone who visits our gallery. Our goal is to provide an all-encompassing experience for our visitors, by combining all the services typically associated with an art gallery in an innovative and immersive way. From showcasing a wide range of contemporary art in various mediums to providing custom framing services, we strive to create a welcoming and engaging environment where visitors can connect with art on a personal level.
We are passionate about promoting emerging and established artists, and we take pride in featuring work that pushes the boundaries of traditional art forms. We believe that the arts are an essential part of any community, and we are committed to building lasting relationships with our collectors and artists to promote the growth and development of the arts community in Wicker Park / Bucktown and beyond.
At the Jackson Junge Gallery, accessibility is a core value. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience the transformative power of art, regardless of their budget. That’s why we offer a wide range of price points and exceptional Giclee reproductions and prints in addition to original pieces. We see ourselves as a partner in the arts community, working collaboratively with artists to showcase their work and connect them with art enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate their unique vision. When visitors step into the Jackson Junge Gallery, we hope they feel inspired, engaged, and transported by the magic of the arts.
