2018-2019 Small Group Shows at Cambridge Art Association
The Cambridge Art Association (CAA) is pleased to announce the selections for our 2018-2019 Small Group Shows. This opportunity allows groups of 3-or more CAA artists to propose an exhibit of their own work. The following proposals were selected to be featured in our galleries during CAA’s 74th Exhibition Season:
October 2018 at Kathryn Schultz Gallery: Creature Comforts, with work by Gin Stone, Daniel Zeese, Christine Kyle, and Gail Samuelson
Enter Another Environment: a landscape of contrasts, with creatures and beings spotlighted in their native realm. Some are adapted to wetlands, others to an environment unrecognizable to humans. In this hall, visitors will explore a hauntingly beautiful, otherworldly depiction of an ethereal, foreign place, and encounter its remarkable residents face-to-face.
October 2018 at University Place Gallery: New Media Art: Digital Fine Art Painting and Photography, with work by Wally Gilbert, Gloria King Merritt and Dorothy Amore Pilla
“Every generation invents a new artistic technique or medium to create new ways to express the concepts, thoughts, and feelings of the age. Just as the painter’s brush is an extension of their hand, so the computer is the extension of the creative mind.” Gloria King Merritt, Artist
Each of these CAA Member Artists have substantial resumes and experience in other fields and traditional techniques, and yet, have chosen to focus on cutting edge processes that have only become possible with the birth of the new millennium.
March 2019 at Kathryn Schultz Gallery: Darker Joys, with work by KT Lane, Keith MacClelland, Stephanie Todhunter, and Amantha Tsaros
In Darker Joys four CAA artists invite you into their creative playground to revel in your base human instincts: a tangible expression of excess, a fearless exploration of medium and subject and an eagerness to surprise the viewer in ways both bold and subtle.
We encourage you to gorge on those sweets and embrace the guilt and pleasure: lazy weekends, late night bacchanalia, tv binge watching, fast food, rollercoaster riding. Nothing is too frivolous, wicked or absurd.
April 2019 at University Place Gallery: Small Group Show, with work by Kimberly Becker, Michele Fandel Bonner, and Elena Brunner
Beyond multiples, our collections stir emotions. As much as we complement one another, we also stand in stark contrast to each other. Elena’s large scale drawings of men in riot gear, although diametrically different that Kimberly’s House Dresses, somehow fit perfectly alongside each other. And the stories Michele tells, again, appear to be unrelated, but when understood, fit into the narrative brilliantly.

About the Cambridge Art Association: CAA was founded in 1944 by a group of local artists and art supporters. At the time, there was no other local association like it. The CAA was a space for exhibiting work, learning new techniques, and socializing. It was – and is – above all, a community of artists.
Today, the CAA maintains two gallery spaces for exhibits, as well as 5 less traditional satellite spaces. Until earlier this year, we were a juried members association. As the result of a strategic plan and long-term vision for the CAA, we are now open to all.
What do we do? We present roughly 20 gallery exhibits, and an additional 20 exhibits in our satellite spaces. We create opportunities for local and regional contemporary artists to engage with gallery owners, curators, collectors, and each other through networking events, portfolios reviews, and other professional development programs.
Transportation: The Kathryn Schultz Gallery has a 10-car parking lot, shared with the New School of Music. Metered, on street parking is available on Mt. Auburn Street. The gallery is also accessible by the 71 and 73 busses from Harvard Square. University Place Gallery is located directly across from the Harvard Square Post Office, and has an on-site parking lot – University Place Garage. The space is also accessible via the MBTA Red Line train. Learn more at cambridgeart.org
