Through our multi-faceted programs, we strive to bring together the culturally diverse population of the Greater Bay Area to foster a better understanding of art and its role in building a strong community. Mission Statement The mission of the Triton Museum of Art is to generate community dialogue, enhance cultural understanding, and increase creative and critical thinking through innovative programs and the vocabulary of art. Our Core Values ART Through its exhibitions and collections, the Triton Museum of Art showcases works by California artists that are aesthetically and historically significant to our region and which demonstrate the rich diversity of cultural traditions, influences, and ideas that make up our community.

Who We Are For 59 years, the Triton Museum of Art has been a destination for the community, providing a venue where local artists exhibit their work alongside regional and national artists and where students of all ages learn about art and the creative process. Located across the street from the Santa Clara Civic Center, the Triton Museum of Art collects and exhibits contemporary and historical works with an emphasis on artists of the Greater Bay Area. Over 40,000 people attend the museum on-site annually through its exhibitions, education, and community programs, and over 90,000 people view the museum's satellite gallery and exhibitions annually. Our Roots The Triton Museum of Art was founded by rancher, lawyer, and art patron W. Robert Morgan and his wife June in San Jose, California, in 1965. It was the first non-university art museum in the county. Less than two years after its opening, the Triton Museum moved to its current location within the City of Santa Clara. Exhibitions and programs were held in four pavilions surrounded by a seven-acre park. Due to the tremendous economic and population growth of the Santa Clara Valley during the 1970s, a new facility was built to serve the changing needs of the community. Construction for the current facility was completed in October 1987. The 22,000-square-foot space features high ceilings, pyramidal skylights, and dramatic lighting. The spacious design of the building was created for versatile exhibition presentation as well as an aesthetically pleasing experience for museum visitors.

< Back Laurus Myth JAN 25 - APR 27 Portals and Passages: Codes Keys and Places Unseen Laurus Myth is an interdisciplinary artist of multicultural descent, native to the Bay Area. Influenced by the architecture of sacred spaces and mental landscapes, her work is colorful and symbolic. Myth has been granted five city-funded mural commissions in Silicon Valley, and currently teaches public art and mural painting. Completing her MFA in 2017 Myth’s work ranges from interactive installations to sculptural forms. Artist Statement: Interactive art can instigate connection by inviting participation and encouraging moments of engagement. My desire is to embrace the connections we share, from our youth, such as laughter, dreams, and memories. The union of opposites, awareness of nature and landscape, and the exploratory process of the art experience, are themes in my practice. As architectural forms create a means of passage, an arch or entryway marked with glyphs deciphers what lies ahead. The challenges of introspection are like my relationship with doors and windows. To see-through, to pass by, or to enter is a continuous practice of choice and at times, chance. My language is influenced by nature, technology, and intuition. I use this practice to decode my experience. Previous Next

< Back Marc D'Estout JAN 18 - APR 19 A Singular Evolution: A 20 year survey of Marc D'Estout Marc D'Estout is a multi-disciplinary artist, curator, art director and designer who graduated with a BFA from San Jose State University. His extensive career includes exhibiting at numerous galleries throughout California and the United States, being featured in several art and design publications, and keeping an active art and teaching career. Artist Statement: Although I am now primarily an object maker, my formative art career was rooted in conceptualism and installation work that actively engaged viewers in carefully created environments. I think of my current pieces as sculptural haikus–formalist reductions. I experiment with subliminal (or sometimes blatant) imagery in response to observations of social and cultural memes, personal (mis)communication, politics, or pop (sometimes dark) humor. I usually draw my pieces first… sometimes as sketches, more often as precise guides. Most of my work is created from flat sheet-steel... the thickness of car bodies. Some pieces include steel rods. Shaped parts are created by hammering the metal into a sandbag or, sometimes, over curved metal blocks called stakes. The parts are then joined by welding and finished by filing and sanding seams, often to give the illusion of a single form. Surfaces are finished with either paints or patina. Other works repurpose and alter found objects… sometimes with new handmade components. These pieces often have a more immediate gestation. While concept drives my imagery, I am equally obsessed with using traditional labor-intensive processes to manifest my vision. The act of hand-making objects from metal has become my Zen.
