For the first time in the history of the
California Art Club's Annual Gold Medal Exhibition, the fine art
organization will present a collection of miniature paintings as part of
its much anticipated showcase of contemporary-traditional artwork.

"Showcasing miniature paintings at our Gold Medal Exhibition allows us to
pay homage to an important element of the California Art Club's history,"
said artist Peter Adams, the Club 's president. "The Club was founded by
plein air painters, many of whom created small scaled paintings on location
to capture the mood or lighting of a particular scene, only to recreate the
images in larger formats in their studios," he added.
