The Triton Museum of Art is a vital community resource that provides accessible exhibition and education programs, which promote a broad range of contemporary California art. 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.

Through its art exhibitions and collections, the Triton Museum 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.

Education is central to the vision of the Museum and integral to the development and design of each exhibition. The Museum offers a learning environment in which curiosity, experimentation, and spirited dialogue are encouraged. Our aim is for each visitor to experience the Museum with enthusiasm, empowered by new perspectives and ideas. Art education programs for children, youth, and adults are designed to enhance the experience of art and to help develop skills of creation and appreciation.

The Community is the life force of the Triton Museum of Art. Each exhibition and program is developed with the visitors’ experience as a compass. The Museum serves as a resource for the community through collaborations with local arts and service organizations, schools, universities, and local civic and corporate partners.

For the entirety of its history, the Triton Museum of Art has been free to the public.
