In the fall of 1959 KFJC began broadcasting out of a closet in Mountain View, CA. It has been nearly 50 years of broadcasting for KFJC and we are excited to make this year more memorable than any year before.

KFJC has grown out of that closet and into a poineer in non commercial radio in the Bay Area and worldwide by continuing to be a conduit for new and interesting audio art and information, especially the sorts that are unavailable elsewhere.

As we turn fifty this year we decided to invite the individuals and communities that have continued to support us and keep our vision alive to have fun and celebrate with us in the unusual way we do things. What better way to celebrate than to get creative!?

Throughout the years we have invited artists to design our Annual Fundraiser Artist T Shirt. We're proud to include Robert Williams, Darren Grealish, Mike Davis, Arik Roper, among our contributors.

This year for our 50th Anniversary, we invite you! The KFJC 50th Anniversary Art Contest is our invitation to artists of all kinds to put into creation the vision we've been sending you through the airwaves all these years. Let's celebrate!

Categories include: Mixed Media/Freeform, Artist T Shirt Design and KFJC Logo. There are cash prizes for winning entries in each category.

The selected winning pieces and honorable mentions will also be included in an exclusive KFJC Art/Logo Exhibit to be held at KALEID Gallery, San Jose. An artists’ reception will be held First Friday September 4, 2009.
