About Jen Tough:
Jen Tough is a creative with a passion for building businesses centered around art and artists. She has both a studio and commercial art background with a BFA in fine arts. Most of Tough’s professional life was spent in Los Angeles as an art director. She was the former art director for Warner Bros Records, Urban Outfitters (corporate), Hollywood Records (Disney) and several ‘90s magazines. Her freelance clients included Capitol Records, Drew Carey and Nike.
Tough founded Jen Tough Gallery in the Bay Area in February 2017, and then had the misfortune of trying to open in Santa Fe the first weekend of Covid shutdowns. Her business was declared “non-essential”, so she pivoted to online, and created an online artist community called the Artist Alliance. Tough’s latest project is AIR (Artists in Residence) Studios in Santa Fe offering self-directed residencies, awarded residencies, workshops & mini-solos.
