The Carmel Art Association, founded in 1927, has a long and proud heritage. Many of its early members were among the greats in California art history. The artists not only brought prestige to the Association, but were also hard working members, serving on the Board of Directors, working on the building and active in all aspects of the organization, making the CAA what it is today, truly "owned and operated by the artists."

Chestnut Street Stomp is a 2001 exhibit at the Wiegand Gallery on the College of Notre Dame. What began as a small frame shop in San Francisco's North Beach gradually grew to become one of the most prominent Bay Area galleries. Then little known artists Elmer Bischoff, Richard Richard Diebenkorn, James Weeks, Joan Brown, and Nathan OIiveira found encouragement and support in Charles CampbelI's gallery. This exhibition will explore the aesthetic sensibility that Campbell has cultivated and promoted during his many years as a gallerist.

Presenting over seventy paintings, drawn from public and private collections, the exhibition will focus attention on the progressive artists of Los Angeles and their response to national and international art movements.

The exhibition addresses architecture and infrastructure as a reflection of American aspirations of freedom and modernity, community, and civic pride.
