The JB Blunk Estate preserves and advances the work of the late artist JB Blunk, through exhibitions and publications, and by maintaining the Blunk House, his iconic hand-built home in Inverness, California. The Estate incorporates Blunk Space, a gallery dedicated to contemporary artists and designers who are engaging with Blunk’s oeuvre and methods, in nearby Point Reyes Station, and Blunk Shop, which produces artisan-made reproductions of original objects made by Blunk.

Blunk Space serves as a platform for contemporary and historical art and design influenced by JB Blunk’s practice in Point Reyes Station, California. The gallery enables an ongoing exploration of creative legacy and influence by bringing contemporary practitioners into Blunk’s space and their work into conversation with his own, and with that of artists from his circle. Blunk Space houses the brick-and-mortar Blunk Shop.

Blunk Shop produces artisan-made reproductions of original objects made by JB Blunk, offered alongside publications and souvenirs related to the Blunk Estate and Blunk Space. From the jewelry he lovingly made for friends and family, to the ceramic and wood tableware he and his family used in the Blunk House, Blunk’s practice made no distinctions between life and art. By collaborating with designers and makers, Blunk Shop makes curated interpretations of these artworks, introducing Blunk’s legacy into new homes for daily use, as he originally intended.
