View Holding the Moment Gallery

A serial exhibition:  November 1, 2020 - May 31, 2021

COVID-19 changed lives everywhere -- locally, nationally, and internationally. The Arts, and individual artists, are among those most severely impacted. In response, the City of San José's Public Art Program partnered with the San José Mineta International Airport to offer local artists an opportunity to reflect, comment, and on of this global crisis and the current challenging time.  More than 327 submissions were received, and juried by a prominent panel of Bay Area artists and arts professionals. Ultimately 96 artworks by 77 San José artists were awarded a $2,500 prize and a place in this six-month exhibition.

The artworks, printed as large format fine-art-boards, have been curated into six exhibition groups.  The work will be on view at the San José Mineta International Airport Terminal B in the publicly accessible Arrivals Halls. They will also be viewable online via the City's website and social media at #HoldingtheMomentSJ.
