As we continue to closely monitor Coronavirus (COVID-19) developments, and follow guidelines from the City of Cambridge, and the Mass Department of Public Health, our galleries and offices will be closed until further notice. However, we have added an exciting new opportunity – online exhibitions!
These exhibitions are open to all CAA Members, and submission is free. Artwork will be selected by Staff and Board Members of the Cambridge Art Association, and be exhibited online bi-monthly. Each online exhibition will have a theme chosen by the selector. Keep reading for more details about online exhibits, and our current open call.

CALL FOR ART
Transparency | The notion of Transparency influences so many aspects of our daily lives; water, glass, clothing, light, colors, shadows and spaces. Also in truthfulness, openness, intimacy, power, shock and loss. It is up to the artist to examine and interpret how the notion of transparency affects us physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, and what we decide to accept as real or illusion.
