The Cambridge Art Association began in 1944 and now consists of over 500 juried artist members --photographers, printmakers, painters, sculptors, textile artists, and glass makers and a supporting group of Friend Members. The purpose of the organization, while constantly evolving as artists' needs change, also remains much the same as it was in the 40's: to enhance the quality of the community by exhibiting art, supporting local artists, and creating diverse opportunities for art education and art appreciation.
