Scott Jacobs Studio Art Gallery & Framing

What Scott Jacobs Studio Art Gallery & Framing does

Scott Jacobs Studio Art Gallery & Framing is a privately held, family-owned art gallery and e-commerce retailer headquartered at 670 Main Street, Deadwood, South Dakota. Founded in 1978, the business operates as Jacobs Gallery and sells original paintings, limited edition prints, fine art photography, luxury artist watches, and a wide range of branded merchandise including tin signs, posters, apparel, puzzles, greeting cards, and steampunk home decor. The gallery represents a multi-artist family roster: Scott Jacobs (founder, photorealist specializing in Harley-Davidson and patriotic themes), Alexa Jacobs (contemporary photorealist), Olivia Jacobs (landscape and wildlife photographer), Jacqueline Rinehart (floral/mandala artist), and the Lovell photography legacy (Buck and Traci Lovell). The business also offers custom framing services, original painting commissions (starting at $20,000 with a ~3-year wait list), and recurring artist retreats/workshops.

The revenue model spans one-time sales of originals ($625-$9,600+) and limited edition prints (giclée, lithograph, serigraph), hardware sales of luxury watches ($495-$8,350 via collaborations with Steve Soffa and Cuervo y Sobrinos) and ancillary products, professional services for museum-quality custom framing, and workshop fees from multi-day artist retreats. Distribution combines a museum-like physical flagship gallery in Deadwood, a global e-commerce storefront (jacobsgalleryshop.com) with international shipping, and third-party channels including Park West Gallery (auctions, cruise-ship events) and Cuervo y Sobrinos (luxury watch distribution). Go-to-market relies on content marketing (blog, newsletter), organic social media, annual Sturgis Rally official-artist exposure (since 1993), high-profile commissions such as the 2026 America 250th anniversary painting for Freedom 250 and the White House, and artist retreats that serve as both education and customer-acquisition events.
