‘Hometown Heroes’ exhibit showcases San Jose athletes, artists

I doubt anyone really looks forward to going to San Jose City Hall unless they’re skipping through the delightful Sonic Runway or practicing their skateboarding tricks. But now there’s another reason to pay a visit that doesn’t require sitting through a meeting.

This week, the city unveiled “Hometown Heroes,” a three-piece exhibition that showcases San Jose sports figures — from NFL stars to roller derby players and synchronized swimmers — while also putting a spotlight on the artists and photographers who bring their images to us.
