Welcome

Amy Ellingson, Variation/Mutation

Amy Ellingson, Variation/Mutation, oil and encaustic on wood panel, 2007-2008.

The San José Museum of Art's permanent collection includes approximately 2,500 modern and contemporary artworks. The collection has grown at an unprecedented pace over the past decade, in large part thanks to the generosity of artists, collectors, individual donors, and the members of the Acquisitions Committee and the Council of 100. SJMA now boasts many works of major significance. Its permanent collection is a valuable resource and legacy for the community.
