Too Close to the Edge
Southern California Collage Society
June 7 - July 22, 2018
Collage is an artistic revolution.Born during the height of modern art’s most imaginative, innovative movements, it changes the story, requiring artists to use paper as paint to create masterful art. Through this simple twist, artists explore the depths of their creativity, incorporating and celebrating multiple variations of image, text, and papers that range from the hand-made to found items. The Southern California Collage Society invites you to join the revolution by taking a leap off the edge where paper ends and art begins.

Thereby Hangs a Tale
Steve Thomas
CCMA's 2018 Artist of the Year
June 7 - August 5, 2018 This exhibit is a compilation of open-ended/stand-alone narratives. Each photograph showcases that which is ephemeral. They are moments in time wherein people have triggered a ripple (or even a dominating wake), affecting the state of surroundings. This art depicts solid matter and real places within the continuum of time. Yet, the imagery is stratified and perspectives are often askew. They emerge as compositions that suggest multifaceted tales in the making. Thereby...

Multiple Personalities
Carolyn Cunningham
July 12 - August 25, 2018
Stick with one style and one medium? I don’t think so!!! Carolyn’s experience as an Art Education major exposed her to a variety of media and styles, and the art in this exhibit gives us a taste of some of the media she has chosen to explore over the years. She hopes this inspires some of the rest of you to get out of your ‘comfort zone’ and try something new. You may find a whole new artistic personality emerge. Through August 25, 2018

Mariela Matias
May 10 - August 12, 2018
Artist statement: My artwork is based on portraits using a reflective object. What inspires my work is watching people trying to look at themselves through reflective objects when they do not have access to a mirror. The elements of art that I use in my work are color and lines(mark-making). Color helps bring out the main focus and the mark-making adds visual interest to my work. When creating my artwork I try to explore a variety of color schemes, to bring my work to life, instead of repeating them. The media that I have chosen to best describe my idea is colored pencil. I use colored pencil because it helps tell the story better and the ability to mix colors makes my objects stand out. My goal as an artist is to create something that I never thought I was capable of and having work that I can share and talk about the meaning.

Pigs to Pig Iron
Selections from CCMA’s Collections
July 19 - October 28, 2018
In 1942, with the growing need for steel to build ships to fight in World War II, Henry J. Kaiser secured a tract of land in Fontana that had been a pig farm. There he built the first steel mill in the Pacific Coast states. One of the civil engineers on the project was Carl Hooper Gilman, whose wife Esther Bruton Gilman was an artist and muralist. Through Carl, Esther gained access to the Kaiser Steel construction site and painted a series of eight paintings to depict the transformation.
