To advance the knowledge of and interest in art and to create a spirit of cooperation and fellowship between artists and the public.
Sitting atop Carmel's highest sand dune, Carmel Art Association has been the heart of this magical Artists’ Colony for 97 years. Our gallery intends to serve the community and the public-at-large for 7 hours a day, 7 days a week to exhibit paintings, sculpture, and print-making disciplines and answer art-related questions. Unfortunately, CAA is not operational when the electric grid goes down, a familiar inconvenience occurring all too frequently during gusty winter storms. Last year MCGives supporters generously funded our BIG IDEA to install solar panels. Switching to this renewable energy source helps our non-profit save money and do our part to save the planet by reducing carbon emissions. Now we would appreciate assistance to add backup batteries to our solar system. These batteries will extend our sustainability efforts and allow us to keep our lights on, our computers humming, and our bright-red Dutch door open, rain or shine!
Our family visits the CAA gallery often to enjoy outstanding shows curated by local artists in a welcoming, dog- and child-friendly atmosphere. We are consistently inspired by the diverse art works, and we appreciate the opportunity to meet and support exceptional artists from around the Monterey Bay area.
