2014 Silicon Valley Contemporary Opening Night Highlights and Photos April 12, 2014 (San Jose, CA) — Last night, April 10th, 2014, Silicon Valley Contemporary opened its inaugural edition at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, in the heart of Silicon Valley. At the VIP Preview Party, Bay Area art professionals as well as the area's tech executives and programmers flocked to the fair to see the cutting edge in contemporary art presented by over 50 international galleries. The festive evening was just the first phase of what will be a weekend that will showcase San Jose as a world-class art fair destination. The fair drew a large opening day crowd of over 2,000 VIP attendees from the local arts and tech communities. Noted among them were executives from Apple, Adobe, Cisco and Applied Materials, as well as attendees from Bay Area arts institutions including San Jose Museum of Art, SFMoMA, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and ArtSpan. In addition,  Mayor of San Jose, Chuck Reed, presented the “2014 Art Patrons of the Year” award to Yvonne and Michael Nevens amidst a standing room only crowd. The local collectors received the commendation for their patronage and commitment to building and bettering the visual art scene of the city. The VIP crowd was active and engaged and opening night sales were brisk—a good omen for the first year fair. Exhibitors were enthusiastic about their prospects for the weekend and many reported initial sales including a Jasper Johns for over $20,000, and a painting by Jack Stuppin at ACA Galleries.
