The San José Museum of Art is a leading showcase in the Bay Area for modern and contemporary art. With a commitment to stimulating creativity and inspiring connection, the museum offers a delightful and thought-provoking perspective on the art and artists of our time. Visitors can expect a fresh and distinctive experience, as the museum presents nine to twelve exhibitions each year.

These exhibitions include one-person and thematic group displays that feature a range of artworks, from traditional paintings to innovative new-media installations. SJMA also addresses major trends in international contemporary art, architecture, and design, with a focus on placing the work of California artists in a national and international context. Accredited by the American Association of Museums, SJMA serves as the largest provider of arts education in Santa Clara County, offering programs such as the Let's Look at Art Program and participatory activity stations in the galleries.

Through these initiatives and more, SJMA continues to make significant contributions to art-historical scholarship and reflect the rich diversity of its communities
