We Thank Our Patrons
The main purpose of the Creative Arts League exhibitions has been to bring qualilty Contemporary Crafts exhibits to the Crocker since 1959. Providing excellent exhibits for the Crocker has been of tremendous benefit in drawing larger crowds to the museum. The Art of Gold show is a case in point, causing the Crocker to have their largest monthly turnout in their history. CAL has provided the entire cost of producing these shows, and in the past has designed and installed them as well. These shows have been the only venue for the presentation of quality contemporary crafts in the Sacramento area. Supporting our fund-raising efforts will enable us to continue this tradition.

CALS, in conjunction with its generous patrons and the Crocker Art Museum, have contributed to nearly a half century of shows of quality contemporary crafts at the Crocker Art Museum. This team effort has advanced the cause of local art and exhibitions in a number of ways. Among these accomplishments:

  • 21 exhibitions of contemporary quality crafts from 1959 to date (most recent was the 2003 Art of Gold show)
  • $323,654 raised since 1959 in support of these shows (thats over $800,000 in today's dollars)
  • presented $50,000 to the Crocker Foundation, creating a special endowment supporting artwork in craft media
  • funded the Crocker's exhibition of Clearly Art: Pilchuck's Glass Legacy
  • was instrumental in funding the exhibition of the Sidney Swidler Collection in galleries located in the Mansion wing newly dedicated to the appreciation of clay & fine craft media and partially funded the catalog The Vase and Beyond The Sidney Swidler Collection of the Contemporary Vessel. This allowed authors Diana L. Daniels and Martha Drexler Lynn to examine the gift's historical and creative strengths which introduced readers to the crosscurrents and exchanges beautifully illustrated by the objects selected for the book
  • funded the production of the Crocker Art Museum's exhibit catalog for Clayton Bailey's World of Wonders exhibit which will include 180 works and complementary ephemera spanning 50 years of Bailey's prodigious production of genuine marvels. October 22, 2011 - January 15, 2012
