CAMBRIDGE ART ASSOCIATION NEWS
It is ART that makes life, makes interest, makes importance,
and I know of no substitute for the force and beauty of its process
~ Henry James
Hello !
In this season of thanks, I want to thank YOU for the many ways you have supported your community at the Cambridge Art Association in 2014.
In 2014, the Association:
Featured 17 exhibitions of local and regional work in our two gallery spaces - the Kathryn Schultz Gallery and University Place Gallery - including exhibits juried by Dr. James Welu (Worcester Art Museum), Camilo Alvarez (samson projects), Al Miner (MFA Boston), and Dana Salvo (Clark Gallery); member-organized small group shows, including Mined/Matter, Time Travelers, and Motion Envisioned
Astrid Reischwitz, Spinneklub
Best in Show, PLATINUM
Welcomed 80 new Artist Members to the Association!
Launched a Creativity Lab - in partnership with Kyle Browne of the Cambridge Creativity Commons and Gately Youth Center - serving nearly 20 Cambridge youth in an out-of-school time program designed to promote creative thinking and hands-on learning, while connecting local youth to working artists and culminating in an exhibit at University Place Gallery
Established a partnership with Cambridge Community Television to co-present a Social Media for Artists Series (on our Third Thursdays) and continued our Creative Collaboration printmaking weekends with Maud Morgan Arts
Introduced a new, Lunch & Learn series, featuring creative-minded guest speakers
And received a $25,000 gift to establish the Irving W. and Charlotte F. Rabb Scholarship Fund, which will provide 4 full Artist Member scholarships annually, as well as a $1000 scholarship each year for a graduating Cambridge Rindge and Latin School student. Read more about the Rabb Scholarship in our Press Release
In spite of our many successes, we continue to operate at a deficit - due to uneven art sales and other factors affected by the still-struggling economy. In an effort to create a sustainable future for the Association, we are undertaking a strategic planning process, working with consultants from ESC New England, beginning next month. Your support is more crucial now than ever, as we look to build on the wonderfully rich history of the Association and ensure its long, prosperous future.
Our successes are not just made possible by you - they are for you, and for the art-makers in our community. If you have not done so already, please consider making a tax-deductible donation today, and support YOUR Cambridge Art Association.
Thank you!
