Upcoming Exhibits

Blessings - In Celebration of Artwork by:
Father Bill Moore, ss. cc.

South Gallery

June 17 - August 14, 2021

Artist of the Year was a concept first initiated in 2005. Our 2020 Artist of the Year recipient, Father Bill Moore, SS.CC. is honored for his contributions to the artistic community and support of Chaffey Community Museum of Art.

Structurally Speaking

North Gallery

July 15 - September 5, 2021

In the visual arts a cityscape, or urban landscape, is an artistic representation of the physical aspects of a city or urban area. It is the urban equivalent of a landscape. The built environment is an important aspect of landscape study and helps us to understand the design elements of public spaces and of private dwellings.

In Structurally Speaking we offer works from our collection in a variety of styles that represent the urban landscape.

Birds of Clay:
Susan Mach

Spotlight Gallery

July 29 – September 11, 2021

Often my ceramic work has been decorated with imagery based on local flora, or that from travels worldwide. Yet, as I sketch these plants outdoors, I haven’t ignored the presence of bird life, mentally noting the birds’ shapes, colors and interactions with the setting. The choice of birds as a subject has increased my admiration of these flying feathered forms and will, perhaps, inspire your curiosity of them as well.

Enjoy the flight!

West End Photo Invitational

South Gallery

August 19 – October 23, 2021

The West End Photo Invitational features the winners of the West End Photo Open held in 2019, Steven Cahill, Tom Cypert and Aline Mare. They will inspire the region with an engaging selection of artworks and a celebration of artists who use photography as their medium.

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.

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.

December 12, 2021 – March 19, 2022
