ABOUT THE JUROR

Cathy Kimball is Executive Director and Chief Curator of the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art, where she has implemented a number of new programs including an annual NextNew presentation focusing on emerging Bay Area artists, as well as the ICA’s Façade program, which includes multimedia installations in the front window. She has curated several dozen exhibitions at the ICA, and has authored numerous exhibition catalogues. In 2006, Ms. Kimball spearheaded the effort to secure a new, permanent home for the ICA with expanded galleries, a contemporary art library, and the only open-access Printmaking Center in the South Bay. Ms. Kimball came to the ICA from the San Jose Museum of Art (SJMA), where she served as Curator for four years. During her tenure at SJMA, she curated a number of high-profile exhibitions, including Alternating Currents: American Art in the Age of Technology, Selections from the Permanent Collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, and Surroundings: Responses to the American Landscape. Previously Ms. Kimball was the Curator at the New Jersey Center for Visual Arts in Summit.

ABOUT SANCHEZ ART CENTER

The mission of Sanchez Art Center is to create community through art. Sanchez Art Center was established in 1996 when artists and community members converted an old school into a multi-use arts complex that now includes 3 galleries, 19 art studios, an arts classroom, and the Mildred Owen Concert Hall. Sanchez Art Center fulfills its mission by presenting free exhibitions by established and emerging California artists, offering arts education and community engagement activities, as well as providing affordable studio rentals.
