WHAT IS THE CADILLAC AREA ARTISTS ASSOCIATION?

• The Cadillac Area Artists Association is a non-profit organization. All dues and exhibit fees are used to fund our own programs along with any community service projects related to the VISUAL arts such as art materials for schools, artists-in-residence, public art projects, etc.

WHERE DO YOU MEET AND HOW CAN I JOIN?

• We meet the third Monday of the month (except June, July, August, January and February) at 7:00 p.m. at the Senior Citizen Center on Chestnut Street. December is our annual Christmas party. Date and time will be announced later.
• Dues are $10 annually. Anyone who is interested in promoting the visual arts in the Cadillac/Wexford County area is welcome to join - whether you are an artist yourself or not. If you are an artist, we would love to see samples of your work; but you need not be a professional, accomplished artist in order to enjoy the many programs and demonstrations we provide. We certainly welcome more active members.
• We usually have a short business meeting and a program of some kind... critiques, videos, sketching from models, guest demos, etc.

WHERE IS YOUR WORK DISPLAYED?

• Rotating exhibit at 5/3 Bank Downtown Cadillac office.
• Brinks Custom Framing on Mitchell street has hosted the display of our artwork in their front windows.
• The Cadillac Historical Museum in the old library building has hosted a display during First Night.
• The Summer Festival of the Arts art fair in July hosts the work of approximately 100 artists. This is a juried fair open to anyone who does original fine art or fine craft work.

WHAT ARE OTHER ADVANTAGES OF MEMBERSHIP?

• Members are pre-admitted, without submitting slides to be juried, for a booth at the Summer Festival of the Arts. We do request that they attend a certain amount of meetings during the year. We also have a group booth at the art fair for members who don't want or need a whole space of their own.
• Art classes hosted by the Cadillac Area Artists Association are often available at a reduced rate.
• Our newsletter keeps you informed of upcoming events.
