Cura Contemporary is a new gallery and art center located in the South Bay of San Francisco in Morgan Hill, CA. Our roster includes both emerging and mid-career artists whose work has a strong sense of materiality and whose practices embrace process.

We have two floors of exhibition space that alternate monthly with group and solo shows. "Meditations", a solo show by San Jose-based photographer Allan Barnes, will be on display January 4th - February 23rd, 2025. Barnes creates wet collodion tintypes using an early 19th century technique of coating glass or aluminum plates with light-sensitive chemicals before placing the plate in a camera and exposing it to light. Also on display will be a group show of paintings, works on paper, ceramics, and glass by our represented and exhibited artists.

Our flexible gallery with rotating walls, allows spaces to be combined or separated for exhibitions, events and workshops. Upcoming workshops include small and large scale oil painting, pastel, watercolor, and printmaking, a monthly figure drawing collective for intermediate to advanced artists, and free and affordable workshops and events for children. We are also planning a dinner/lecture series, an open call and professional development workshops for artists, film screenings, and light and sound experiences.
