KALEID (Greek for beauty and form) was borne out of San Jose’s Phantom Galleries (art in vacant storefronts & alternative spaces project) in December 2006. Professionally curated, the gallery houses over 60 fine artists and designers from the San Jose area in a 4,000 square foot retail space in the heart of the SoFA District. Individual exhibits include painting, sculpture, photography, ceramics, glass, jewelry and textile art. The artists range from young and emerging, to seasoned and well-accomplished. All art work is for sale and may be taken with you at the time of purchase.

Every First Friday of the month (except Jan. & July) KALEID features a solo exhibition by a resident artist to display a broader body of work. Artists are present to speak about their work and process at the receptions and the openings often feature live musical performances. Artists’ receptions are from 5pm–9pm, free admission and are part of the South FIRST FRIDAYS ArtWalk SJ.

If you are interested in exhibiting at KALEID, we encourage you to email us a link to your website or you may send up to 5 small jpgs (no larger than 640pixels at 72dpi) with an artist statement to: info@KALEIDgallery.com. We will confirm receipt of your submission and review your work for consideration when we have an opening available.
