Carmel Art Association Presents SUSAN GIACOMETTI SOLO SHOW ‘HAWAII REMEMBERED,’ GERALD MARTIN & MELISSA LOFTON TWO-PERSON SHOW ‘PEOPLE’ AND ALICE GELLER-ROBERTSON & PAMELA TAKIGAWA GALLERY SHOWCASE

 
Carmel Art Association Mission Statement: 
The Association exists to provide its members with a permanent art gallery, to advance knowledge of, and interest in the arts, and to create a spirit of cooperation and fellowship among artists and the community. 

A Proud Heritage:
The legendary Carmel Art Association was formed on August 8, 1927 by a small group of artists who gathered at “Gray Gables,” the modest home/studio of Josephine Culbertson and Ida Johnson at the corner of Seventh and Lincoln in Carmel-by-the-Sea. These nineteen “pioneers”—who grew up in the 19th century and individually found their respective paths to Carmel from all corners of the world—each desired a greater sense of community, a spirit of collaboration, and a place to show their work. Before the meeting concluded, they had established an association with a mission “to advance art and cooperation among artists, secure a permanent exhibition space, and promote greater fellowship between artists and the public.”
