97th Exhibition
    May 23—July 19, 2008

Directors Message

Daniel J. Riccio: Artistic Director

CAFA’s 97th Annual Exhibition celebrates the human ability to communicate through the visual arts. Each year the combined efforts of many talented artists ensure a stunning gallery exhibit.

Now, as in the past, creative options for artists are changing. The digital age has brought new ways for artists to bring their work before the public. Our web site at www.ctacedemy.org. is where we archive past exhibits, and provide artist members with profile pages with contacts and links to their sites.
Our site has attracted attention and given CAFA a base to continue its legacy into the future.

We are now upgrading our entry procedure. Preparation to switch from slide to digital entry is under way, (carry-in will continue).
Looking forward, under consideration is a plan to produce a virtual exhibition that parallels the gallery show. It could be viewed at any time, anywhere in the world, and it would be possible to bring about international participation.

Congratulations to all successful entrants and their achievements—an inspiration to all.
