SUBJECT MATTER

Building upon the California Art Club’s long history promoting traditional art forms, we are pleased to announceour Excellence in Traditional Fine Art Competition, which will take place quarterly beginning in 2021.

The mission of this new initiative is to encourage artists to develop and refine their classical art skills and spotlight their mastery by providing a new platform for showcasing contemporary-traditional works of art.
