History

Established in 1977.

Linda Jones Enterprises, the parent company of the Chuck Jones Gallery was founded by the daughter (and only child) of legendary animation pioneer and creator, Chuck Jones in 1977 in response to requests her father had received to sell original production art from his films. In 1990 the first Chuck Jones Gallery opened in Corona del Mar, CA, the hometown of Chuck Jones and in 1996, the Chuck Jones Gallery in San Diego opened in the historic center of Old Town San Diego. Last June, we made the move to the Gaslamp District (232 Fifth Ave.) and are loving our new location and new gallery space.
