Carmel Art Association Presents HIGH SCHOOL COMPETITION & EXHIBITION 'FOR THE LOVE OF ART 2020' AND LUCAS BLOK: PAINTINGS BY LUCAS BLOK

“Carmel’s Oldest Gallery”
“Local Professional Art Since 1927”


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.” 

W/s Dolores St. between 5th Av. & 6th Av.
10:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M., Daily

PAINTINGS BY LUCAS BLOK

“The artwork of Lucas Blok is a dance with color. Surrendering to the rhythm and flow of his paintings invites a participatory experience. His paintings allow us to both find and lose ourselves in the haze of an unrelenting, pulsating color. – Karen Inglis Crews Hendon, February 2016, Monterey, California/

Lucas Blok’s paintings are in the permanent collections of: Monterey Museum of Art, Triton Museum of Art, Berkeley Art Museum, Crocker Art Museum, and the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts (part of the City of San Francisco Museums) along with corporate and numerous private collections.
