Framing Our Future - Celebrating 75 Years of the CAA!

Framing Our Future: Celebrating 75 Years of the Cambridge Art Association
POSTPONED 

Support CAA TODAY, and CELEBRATE with us later. While we are uncertain when - or if - we will be able to reschedule this event, we do know that we need your support. With our galleries closed and programs put on hold, we are projecting significant losses in revenue this year. Every 'ticket' purchase will be considered a 100% tax deductible donation to our Framing Our Future campaign, and will work to ensure that the CAA weathers this storm.

Funds raised on May 8th will support CAA’s core programs:

• Exhibits – CAA creates more than 30 opportunities each year for our local artists to exhibit and sell their artwork. That’s more opportunities than any other arts organization in the Greater Boston area! And, our galleries are free and open to the public five days per week.

• Educational programs – In our 75th year, we’re building on our successful professional development programs, like Instagram for Artists and our annual Portfolio Reviews, and adding more opportunities for artists to develop a thriving practice, as well as hands-on intensive workshops.

• Art lending – Over the past year, our Art Rental leased more than 120 original artworks by CAA members, returning 50% of all fees to working artists in the community. Our goal is to increase the size of this program by 15% each year, and serve a greater number of artists in our community.

• Artist networking  – in addition to our popular Feedback Forums – our members’ critique group – we are adding more opportunities for artists to connect at CAA and offsite.
