Long known as “the Valley of Heart’s Delight”, Santa Clara Valley was the world’s largest producer of fruit, with acres of farmland providing a bounty of produce in an ideal climate. This decade saw a huge increase in population that came about for several reasons, including the growing technology industry that developed into what we now know as Silicon Valley. While Los Gatos maintained its small-town charm, residents were also participating in a cultural and creative change; Mid-Century architecture replaced traditional buildings; farmland decreased to accommodate urban development; and a thriving community of artists, creatives, bars, and restaurants grew in town.
Learn more about Los Gatos in the 1960s with Amy Long, curator of our current exhibition, I Know A Place. Amy will also share her experiences living in Los Gatos in the 60s.&nbsp;We'd love to hear your stories, too!

New Museum Los Gatos (NUMU) asked our community to loan photos, stories, objects, or momentos from life in Los Gatos in the 1960s to be featured in an exhibition celebrating the museum’s 60th anniversary. The Los Gatos Museum Association was founded in 1965 and had its first home at the adobe firehouse on Tait Avenue. We want to celebrate and uncover what made this creative time period so unique: our residents, businesses, and abundant bohemian history with the likes of John Steinbeck, etc.

For over a decade, the artists of Salon Jane have explored their artwork with the consistent presence of a dedicated working group for critiques, discussion and encouragement. Their meetings are a place to think seriously about photography, challenge the boundaries of the medium, and open new paths of creative expression. While each artist independently develops their own artwork, the Salon’s ongoing dialogues draw unexpected connections and resonance between each other’s ideas and aesthetics.&nbsp;
NUMU is thrilled to present a group exhibition of Salon Jane: Resonance, featuring new works of traditional, alternative process, digital, and mixed media photographic art that highlight the innovation and collective wisdom that emerges from this unique artistic group.
This exhibition will be on view in our Spotlight Gallery.
