Reflections - Looking Back

North Gallery

September 9 – November 7, 2021

Chaffey Community Museum of Art was founded in the spring of 1941. The first Invitational Purchase Prize Art Exhibit opened on October 25, 1941 and included work from 61 artists. In the catalogue for the exhibit it stated, “Two paintings will be purchased this year-an oil and a watercolor. In ten years we fully expect to have in Chaffey’s Permanent Collection the finest showing of contemporary American art on the Pacific Coast”.

The paintings in this exhibit are the purchase prize award winners and paintings that were gifted by artists to Chaffey during the first ten years.

De Facto First Artist

October 28, 2021 – January 08, 2022

First Artist launched virtual gatherings on October 1, 2020. The Zoom gatherings occur year-round on the first day of the month. Our purpose is to view new works of art and learn from each other. Not only is this exhibit a one-year celebration, it is the first de facto gathering of FA artists: fellow artisans from San Bernardino, Riverside, Los Angeles, and Inyo countries. This in-person exhibition is another opportunity for artists to continue the FA dialogue.

Still Life

North Gallery

November 11, 2021 – January 23, 2022

A still life is a work of art depicting mostly inanimate subject matter, typically commonplace objects which are either natural or man-made. One advantage of the still-life artform is that it allows an artist a lot of freedom to experiment with the arrangement of elements within a composition of a painting.
