The Carmel Art Association was formed on August 8, 1927 by a small group of artists who gathered at “Gray Gables,” the modest home and studio of Miss Josephine M. Culbertson and Ida Johnson at the corner of Seventh and Lincoln in Carmel-by-the-Sea. These nineteen artists –who grew up in the 19th century and individually found their respective paths to Carmel from all corners of the world—each desired a greater sense of community, a spirit of collaboration, and a place to show their work. Before the meeting concluded, they had established an association with a mission “to advance art and cooperation among artists, secure a permanent exhibition space, and promote greater fellowship between artists and the public. In October 1927, the first show of 41 artists took place in the Seven Arts building of Herbert Heron. In 1933, the gallery was moved to its present location on Dolores Street.”<ref>{{cite book|last=Edwards|first=Robert W.|date=2012|title=Jennie V.

The Carmel Art Association (CAA) is a Not-for-profit arts organization and gallery located in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. The CAA is Carmel's oldest gallery. It features the work of many local artists living on the Monterey Peninsula. Many of its members were early California artists. The CAA is a 501(c)(3) organization.

History

The CAA was founded on August 8, 1927, by a small group of artists who gathered at “Gray Gables,” the modest home and studio of Josephine M. Culbertson and Ida A. Johnson at the corner of Seventh and Lincoln in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. The originator of the plan was Jennie V. Cannon of Berkeley, California, who was a frequent visitor to Carmel and owned a summer cottage there. Pedro Joseph de Lemos of Carmel was elected the first president of the CAA in August 1927. A constitution presented by Ada B. Champlin was accepted with some amendments. In late October 1927, the exhibition of 41 artists took place in Seven Arts Building in Carmel. The association filed articles of incorporation on January 26, 1934.

Artist and playwright Ira Mallory Remsen (1876-1928) was active with the Carmel Art Association when it was at the corner of Seventh and Lincoln Street. On July 8, 1929, artists Ray and Dorthy Woodward purchased Rem's studio for $6,000 (equivalent to $106,465 in 2023).
