PERMANENT COLLECTION "A MOMENT IN HISTORY"

The Permanent Collection of the Chaffey Community Art Association represents some of the most prominent artists of the Western United States in the period from 1920 to date. It is also representational of the development of a distinctive school of California art inspired by the unique quality of light and geographic features to be found in the coastal, mountain and desert areas of the Far West. Salient examples of this school are to be found in the watercolor paintings of Millard Sheets, Rex Brandt and Milford Zornes.

Some of the finest works of the regional artists of the period 1920-1950 are also represented in the Permanent Collection, most importantly the works of Emil Kosa, Jr., Thomas Craig, and Conrad BuffAt present, there are over one hundred works in the collection.
