FREE Admission during Summer Fest Aug 8-10

March 7, 2025 - ongoing

Tending and Dreaming: Stories from the Collection provides unprecedented access to core works in San José’s only publicly held art collection including works by Enrique Chagoya, Patssi Valdez, Yolanda Lopez, and Laura Aguilar. 

SJMA’s collection galleries position artists as storytellers to imagine the Museum as a space where culture and meaning are actively made and always in process. Organized into thematic groupings, Tending and Dreaming offers poetic starting points for engaging with ideas woven through the works of almost fifty artists from the Bay Area and beyond.
