Junc Gallery was a Los Angeles-based contemporary art space that operated from 2004 until 2009, located at 4017 Sunset Blvd in the Silver Lake district. The gallery focused on presenting emerging artists whose work drew inspiration from cartoons, illustration, comics, and zine culture—a trend art critic Shana Nys Dambrot identified as "Post Illustration." Junc Gallery was instrumental in pioneering this visual language within the contemporary art scene.
Among the early artists featured were prominent figures such as Ben Jones of Paper Rad, Eddie Martinez, Futurefarmers, Justin Wood, and Brendan Monroe.
