Established in 1969, the San Jose Museum of Art is a distinct voice in the San Francisco Bay Area arts community. The Museum is recognized for its contemporary collection, which reflects the West Coast contextualized by national and international visual art. The collection exhibits the unique evolution of the institution from a small civic art gallery to a museum in the tenth largest city in the United States. The San Jose Museum of Art is the only museum in San Jose accredited by the American Association of Museums, a recognition given to only 750 of the nation's 8,000 museums. A public benefit 501(c)3 organization located in downtown San Jose, SJMA serves 200,000 people a year. 55,000 are children, nearly 40,000 of whom participate in our locally applauded Studio Arts Education programs.
