Connections
Sue Conner, Patrice Cooley, Robyn MacNair
August 1 - September 28, 2019 This exhibit represents a body of work from a "tribe” of three female artists: Sue Conner, Patrice Cooley and Robyn MacNair. Although born in different decades, this cohort of friends celebrate a relationship which results from their shared passion to explore, learn, and create. Each artist approaches her creative process in a different way, yet their collective work echoes the common theme of connection. The viewer is led to a place where meaning is constructed by the viewer’s own experiences and how the viewer personally connects to the artist’s works.
Through September 28, 2019

Young Artist Alcove:
Amy Guerrero
August 29 - October 6, 2019
Artist statement: "My artwork is mostly inspired by black and white film and photography. I love how older photographs can be hazy and less realistic. The subjects in my work are inspired by the people around me. I enjoy working in ink and colored pencil because it gives me the freedom to work realistically if I want to and to create a variety of values. While creating my work I’ve learned to challenge myself creatively and technically. My goal is to continue to make art and try new media and idea."
Through October 6, 2019

California Style
Selections from CCMA’s Collections
May 2 - August 18, 2019
The California Style of painting which flourished from the mid-1920's to the mid-1950's gave the traditional watercolor medium a bold new look. This new representational art, defined by a large format, free broad brush strokes and strong rich colors, documented scenes and activities of everyday life on the Pacific Coast. California's cities, industrial sites, its beaches, harbors and its vast open landscapes were interpreted by hundreds of artists using innovative new approaches to painting. In the past few years a renewed interest has developed in the American representational art movements that took place in the mid-twentieth century, with particular emphasis on the American Scene or Regionalist art.The California Style played a key role in this movement and made contributions that had a nationwide impact.
