Introduction
Works/San José is a non-profit, volunteer-run contemporary art and performance center dedicated to providing a venue for artists, ideas, and images that expand the scope of cultural and artistic experience.
Works seeks community involvement and fosters a mix of emerging and established artists and curators who often have limited access to commercial spaces and large institutions. Works provides exhibition space, honoraria, installation assistance, and publicity. Works also has an Artist-in-Residence program that awards local artists with working space for three months. Primarily a volunteer organization, Works is operated by a working board, an advisory board, one part-time gallery coordinator, and several active volunteers.
