What a lovely store! We were greeted by Victoria as soon as we entered. She was very knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. The gallery packs a huge punch for a small space! The artwork and multiple artist on display are wonderful works of art! I would highly recommend stopping by when you are in the market for unique pieces of art! If you don't see exactly what you're looking for, Victoria can help you fulfill your vision!

It wasn't long after they opened that I learned about this gallery. Upon meeting the owner Victoria, I was impressed by her warmth, approachability, and elevated yet down-to-earth approach to building relationships within our creative community. She is passionate about supporting local artists, giving back to her community and showcases world-class artists while delivering superior service. Since I work in the design world, I often share about her gallery. Kennedy Contemporary is a must-see if you have a penchant for amazing, one-of-a-kind artworks and enjoy supporting local artists!

Bought a piece when I was here in December of 2021. She shipped it to New York and it showed up in pristine condition. She signs local artists and has a cute dog to greet you at the shop. Done deal.

This gallery is the perfect addition to this area. I love visiting with a yummy cup of Kean coffee. The current collection is warm and so inviting and so is the gallery owner! Victoria is young, passionate, and professional and a real art enthusiast. So excited to see all that work that comes through here and for a bit of culture to join the Newport scene.

Love this Gallery. We have the tendency to come up to Orange County from San Diego to browse new contemporary offerings. Victoria always offers extremely personal recommendations on what would best fit our needs and extensive education for the new artists she brings into the gallery. She is currently following COVID-19 guidelines and ensures that her area is clean and ready for visitors. We highly recommend this gallery for your contemporary art needs.

This is the only gallery worth visiting on the West Coast. I'm including Los Angeles.Coming from Manhattan, I think what makes this gallery so distinct is the the curator, Victoria-a Stanford University graduate who lead formidable bike tours in France, with a Masters via Sotheby's, and just the right amount of experience in contemporary art (Saatchi Art and The Other Art Fair) as well as the rare book industry. What's heartening about this gallery is that she's all about empowering her artists. She leads her business with intention (The collector gets the sense that she has to be "worthy"- you get the good stuff, if you are willing to listen and understand). Clearing the gray space between the artist and the collector is what the 21st-century should be all about. Both the concept and contents of Kennedy Collective space brightened up my dim life.
