Tucked into the Design District of West Hollywood, Jarrow & Goodman is more than a gallery, it is a reflection of a lifelong commitment to art, culture, and meaningful collecting. Founded by Jarrow L. Rogovin after more than five decades of building an eclectic, global collection, the gallery represents a culmination of vision and legacy. Now partnered with Michael Goodman, and supported by Zara Rancourt, the space is dedicated to fostering both emerging and established contemporary artists.
With a deep foundation in art history and market expertise, Jarrow & Goodman operates with intention. The gallery not only provides artists with the tools and critical insight to evolve their work, but also guides collectors toward pieces that resonate on a personal, cultural, and intellectual level. For Rogovin, art is not just decorative, it is essential to living a meaningful life, and that philosophy is embedded into every exhibition the gallery brings forward.
“Built To Be Seen” Puts Women Artists and Visibility at the Forefront
The gallery’s latest exhibition, A Woman’s Perspective: Built To Be Seen, marks the third iteration of its all-female exhibition series, continuing a powerful commitment to amplifying women’s voices in contemporary art. The show explores visibility not as a passive state, but as an intentional act, one rooted in identity, strength, and presence.

Featuring a dynamic group of artists including Mina Alikhani, Cherie Benner Davis, Cheryl Christiansen, Jayne Cooper, Eugeniya Dior, Morgan Echols, Melody Emrani, Kasia G, Lana Gomez, Marina Gostraya, Bonita Helmer, Donna Isham, Linda Jacobson, Nastasja Mijatovic, Stefanie Schneider, Yulia Shiryaeva, and Ekaterina Sky, the exhibition brought together a range of styles, mediums, and perspectives. Each artist contributed to a broader dialogue around what it means to be seen, both within the art world and beyond it.
The result was a compelling and cohesive showcase that celebrated not only individual expression, but also the collective rise of female-driven contemporary art. Bold, introspective, and unapologetically present, the works on display reflected the evolving landscape of today’s art scene.
Closing Night Supports Youth Champions Nonprofit and the Next Generation of Leaders
While the exhibition itself centered on visibility and artistic expression, its impact extended beyond the gallery walls during its closing night. A portion of proceeds from art sales were donated to Youth Champions, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit dedicated to empowering underserved high school students.

Through its proprietary framework, Youth Champions equips students with the tools, confidence, and vision to pursue futures that may have once felt out of reach. In a region where disparities in education and mental health outcomes remain stark, the organization fills a critical gap, helping young people transform potential into tangible opportunity. Alumni have gone on to attend Ivy League universities, pursue high-earning careers, and become leaders within their communities.
By aligning the closing night of A Woman’s Perspective with Youth Champions, Jarrow & Goodman reinforced its belief that art has the power not only to inspire, but to create real-world impact. It was a fitting conclusion to an exhibition built on visibility, ensuring that the act of being seen extended beyond the canvas and into the lives of the next generation.
