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.”

A time-honored tradition at the CAA that started with what were called "thumbnail sketches" in the 1930's. Over 80 years later the Miniature Show in December continues to be a top favorite for our local patrons & collectors and anyone who loves art. Many of our 100+ Artist Members participate, showing small-scale pieces created especially for this show.

BOOK SIGNING
Saturday, December 5, 2015, 5:00 P.M. – 700 P.M.
Diane Wolcott will sign copies of her new book. The beautiful 144 page volume contains reproductions of many of her naive style oil paintings populated with tiny children, animals and nuns—harkening to a gentler time, and evoking remembrances of innocence and wonder. The book recounts her life story, not withstanding her encounters with tragedy and loss at an early age, and her unceasing vision that propels her art.
