San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art

San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) encourages creativity by presenting and interpreting thought-provoking contemporary art to a diverse audience. It was founded in 1980 by a group of local artists interested in creating a venue to exhibit contemporary art. The ICA distinguished its exhibition program from others by hiring a professional curator to lead the organization, and the gallery quickly gained a reputation for curatorial excellence.

The ICA is an energetic art space committed to promoting creativity among its artists and its audience. It presents exhibitions in its three galleries that include current, relevant and often challenging art from the region, the nation and the world. The space is activated by opening receptions, South First Friday gallery walks, nighttime projections in the front windows, panel discussions, printmaking workshops, brown bag lunches and impromptu conversations in the galleries.

    The wallpaper installation made up of small, hyper colorful and meticulously arranged cheerleader photographs by Cassandra C. Jones was truly inspiring. I also very much enjoyed Jim Campbell's light photo/sculpture piece. Two artists worth visiting San Jose to see. Collapse
