This exhibition is a celebration of the life of Jan Rindfleisch, an organizer, artist, and documenter of visual arts and organizations in our community. Among other arts activism, Jan was involved in the founding of Works/San José and the Euphrat Museum of Art at De Anza College, where she was director from 1979 to 2011. In 2023 Jan asked several local artists to reimagine and remake groundbreaking artworks of hers from the late 1970s on. Jan called the experiment “Building Together.” This exhibition presents the results of these unique collaborations along with several original works of the artist. Knowing she was in the late stages of cancer throughout this project, Jan passed away in March of 2025. The exhibition is on view through June 28, and a gathering to celebrate Jan’s life will be held at the close of the exhibit. The book Building Together will also be available at the exhibition.
