Where culture, community, and hospitality thrive

Where culture, community, and hospitality thrive

By Brittney Sherman

When Dan McCranie decided to build an art gallery in Downtown Morgan Hill, he made clear he wanted none of the white walls and sharp lines found in traditional galleries. Instead, he mixed materials, shapes, colors and used mass-timber to design a building that in itself is a piece of art. Cura Contemporary Art Gallery exhibits both emerging and mid-career artists from the Bay Area and beyond in an open and engaging environment. Representing a large variety of styles and mediums, the featured artwork gives a fresh perspective and often has a deep connection to process and materiality. In addition to thoughtfully curated exhibitions, the gallery will host artist workshops, unique culinary experiences, and special events. It is truly a space where culture, community, and hospitality are blended and celebrated.

Morgan Hill Supports Businesses and Community with Launch of Place-Branding Grant

Morgan Hill announced a Place-Branding Partnership Opportunity designed to support businesses and community through the COVID-19 pandemic. This is one of several business resiliency efforts supporting the City’s economic recovery plan to help with the beautification of outdoor dining spaces, activating vacant store fronts with temporary art, community announcements or businesses that may have lost their leases; and creating interesting ‘place-making’ street activations that will create a welcoming, fun and interesting environment.
