About Gallery 1202

Founded in 2017, 1202 Contemporary, formerly Gallery 1202, is a cornerstone art institution located in the South Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. 1202 Contemporary has brought high-quality exhibitions to the area for the past 8 years, shown at art fairs across the United States, and assisted in placing works in museum and private collections across the globe. The gallery was originally opened in the historic Pixley house in downtown Gilroy and continues to serve Gilroy and the surrounding areas in it's new location within The Clove Art Complex. The new location is set inside the historic Milias building, dating back to the 1920s. In 2022, 1202 Contemporary transitioned to a 501(c)3 organization in order to further support artists in their career, and to bring contemporary art into Gilroy, Morgan Hill, Hollister, and surrounding areas. The gallery's mission is to be an inclusive, welcoming space for the community while focusing on promoting marginalized artists. We strive to amplify the silenced voices in the art-world, including womxn, and BIPOC artists, artists with young families, and artists who deal in alternative mediums, and subject-matter.
