History
Established in 1980 as a 501-c-3 nonprofit organization,[5] ICA San José calls home to downtown San Jose.[3][6] In the year 2000, ICA San José came under the leadership of executive director Cathy Kimball, the former curator at the San Jose Museum of Art.[6] Kimball helped ICA San José to become a better known cultural institution in the Bay Area by presenting the works of renowned artists from the United States and around the world.
After working for years toward their long-term goal of acquiring a permanent home, in 2006 ICA San José purchased a 7,500-square-foot building in the SoFA District (South First Area) of downtown San Jose. The 3,700-square-feet of gallery space within were divided into three different interchangeable gallery spaces that are in cohesive relation to one another.[7] With the increase of gallery space, it allowed for a more continuous and long term exhibition space for site specific, solo, and group installations, a first in ICA San José's history.[8]
In 2011, the art space attracted 20,000 visitors a year.[6] Attendance reportedly continued to increase through 2019.[6]
The Institute of Contemporary Art San José exhibited a series of metal sculpture by California artist Charles Ginnever in 2013.[9]
In 2014, the art center supported a solo exhibition by the painter Amy Ellingson.[7]
An exhibition held in 2019 featured the work of Alan Rath, a pioneer in electronic, kinetic, and robotic artwork.[4]
In June 2020, it was announced that Cathy Kimball would be succeeded by Alison Gass as director of ICA San José.[10][11]
