About the Spring Small Works Fundraiser | Join the Cambridge Art Association for our Spring Small Works Fundraiser, a celebration of affordable, original artwork by local and regional artists. The exhibition will be presented at the Kathryn Schultz Gallery (25 Lowell Street, Cambridge, MA) and features 100 carefully selected works spanning a wide range of media – painting, photography, sculpture, mixed media, ceramics, and more – each priced at $100.
Curated by the CAA Exhibition Committee, the sale offers collectors a rare opportunity to acquire original art at an accessible price point while directly supporting the artists and the Cambridge Art Association. Proceeds are split 50/50 between the artist and CAA, and artists who wish to make a greater impact are warmly encouraged to donate their full share to support CAA’s general operating needs.
This event will include an Opening Reception on Friday, May 15, where CAA will honor our Members, Board Members, and Volunteers. The sale will continue on Saturday, May 16, with a bonus Artist Demo with Paul Sears in our gallery. Both events are free and open to the public – we hope you will join us!
