Description

In 1927, with the Great Depression looming on the horizon, the Carmel Art Association (CAA) was founded "to advance the knowledge of and interest in art, create a spirit of cooperation, and fellowship between artists and the people." The CAA saw the union of some of the great California artists of their time, and continue to move forward today with the legacy set over 75 years ago. Today, the gallery provides a permanent home for its members while still providing a venue for lectures and events to serve the local community of Carmel. The Carmel Art Association boasts itself in being the second oldest operating non-profit artist co-op in the United States. A visit to this gallery will show you a wide display of styles and media in the month long exhibits featuring artists' work from those living on the Monterey Peninsula.
