Director & Curator's Choice Curator’s Choice: Vanessa Callanta, Curator Deirdre White, Summer Had Inhaled And Held Its Breath Too Long , 2021, Oil on Panel, 30 x 36. This painting stands out to me as beautiful and, at the same time, horrifying. There’s this sense of dread and heaviness I feel while viewing it, but it has this morbid allure that keeps me hooked. I want to know what shape the deflated balloon once took, but am afraid to ask. The bold colors, while simultaneously grotesque and attractive imply a sense of illness and unrest. I love it and cannot look away. Director’s Choice: Preston Metcalf, Executive Director and Senior Curator Suzette McDonough James Whitehouse, Paparazzi Portrait #2, Mitch Huitema & Tim Holmes, 2022, acrylic, 36 x 48. I am often intrigued by partners who paint together. How does one project their vision in concert with another? It is an exercise in trust, and valuing the creativity of each. Suzette and James have made tandem painting one of their trademarks. Sometimes they will each paint the same subject, to be shown side-by-side, while at other times — as in this painting — they will each contribute to the same canvas. I am intrigued not only by the decisions each make in composing the overall whole, but in the daringness they take as a team in portraying some parts in completion, while others are left to our imagination, as if in fleeting visions captured by paparazzi’s cameras. Curator’s Choice – Bryan Callanta, Curator of Digital Programming Bounds, Float , 2023, Acrylic, 24 x 12. I enjoy this painting for its subject matter, it’s creativity, and uniqueness. I am intrigued as to why the whale is floating on the surface of the water. There is a heart on fire above the creature which may represent a passion or feeling of love. There are also scars on the whale’s head and body. What is it that the whale is ultimately seeking outside of its home? Want to be notified about future Salon Competitions? Sign up Today!

Who We Are For 60 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. 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.

We invite you to read selected novels about art or famous artists before we meet, and then join us on the first Wednesday morning of each month, for an art history presentation about that month’s novel, the portrayed artist, and related art, as presented by Triton Museum Executive Director Preston Metcalf and Triton Museum Associate Curator Vanessa Callanta. Book Club Monthly meetings on the first Wednesdays of each month 9:30 - 10:30 AM PST at the Triton Museum of Art. (doors open at 9:00 a.m. for coffee and donuts; presentation begins at 9:30 a.m.) We invite you to read selected novels about art or famous artists before we meet, and then join us on the first Wednesday morning of each month, for an art history presentation about that month’s novel, the portrayed artist, and related art, as presented by Triton Museum Executive Director Preston Metcalf and Triton Museum Associate Curator Vanessa Callanta.

DOWNLOAD This Upcoming Month's Book: Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton March 4th, 2026 Jurassic Park is a cautionary tale about attempts to recreate the past, and the inherent danger of such endeavors. Before it was a bestselling novel and series of blockbuster movies, the art of paleontology generated our primary views of the giants that once roamed the earth. These illustrations were at the intersection of art, science, and history, and revealed worlds beyond imaginations. Triton Curator Vanessa Callanta will guide us through the development of this particular and vital body of art that helped form our understanding of the past, as well as lead to modern-day portrayals that brought these creatures to life.
