Established in 1994, Jill Thayer Galleries at the Fox showcased regional and international contemporary artists through selected exhibitions. Located at the historic Fox Theater in downtown Bakersfield, the gallery received critical review and presented emerging, mid-career, and established contemporary artists for 15 years contributing to the cultural aesthetic of the community.

Moving beyond the constructs of the gallery space, Jill continues to offer new perspectives in the cultural dialogue representing artists working in various methodologies and theoretical frameworks. Commissioned artwork is available for corporate and private collection. Additionally, Jill works in tandem with academic and art institutions to further develop cultural awareness and education in the Arts.
