Accredited by the American Alliance of Museums and located near the Plaza de Cesar Chavez in of the heart downtown San José, the San José Museum of Art (SJMA) is the premier modern and contemporary art museum in Silicon Valley. With a dual commitment to artistic excellence and community relevance, SJMA’s unique artistic program showcases the work of significant internationally acclaimed and emerging artists whose creative interests and distinctive approaches to contemporary art resonate with defining characteristics of San José and Silicon Valley—from its rich cultural diversity to its hallmark innovative ethos.

Guided by a strong commitment to equity, SJMA strives to be a borderless institution integral to creative life throughout San Jose and the Silicon Valley.
