Carmel Valley Art Association

To Explore Educate Foster Promote Create ~ This is ❤️ of our vision & purpose.- nonprofit 501(c)(3) CVAA was co-founded in 2006 by John & Shelley A Aliotti.

The Carmel Valley Art Association (CVAA) promotes local art and artists, which form the heart of our vision and purpose: To Explore, Educate, Foster, Promote and Create art" and present art and culture workshops and events for the community. Our FB page is to keep our community-at-large in the know about the Carmel Valley Art Association. We are now operating as a nonprofit organization, 501(c)(3), EIN 37-1945902. Our Board Members include: John A. Aliotti, President; Thomas Hawley, Vice President; MaryAnn Leffel, Treasurer; Peggy Hutton, Secretary; Shelley A. Aliotti, Executive Director; Diana Alchimisti, Membership / Sales Director; Valerie Fermor, Events Director; Colleen Marquez, Community Liasion Director; Bobbie Brainerd, Marketing Director.

2020 brought a worldwide pandemic and devastating local fires that dealt blows to our community. Artistic pursuits took a back seat to safety and necessity. Art is a way to heal. Last fall, after two years of hard work and effort, the Carmel Valley Art Association was granted its nonprofit 501(c)(3)status. Soon after we received a generous grant from the Arts Council for Monterey & Monterey County Board of Supervisors. These funds immediately went to work on behalf of the artists, including those for whom art is a passion, career, and emotional outlet. To promote our local art and artists we are currently rebuilding our website: www.cvartassoc.org to better serve our artists and community’s needs. This will soon be finished. Stay tuned! We have recently moved again into our "forever happy place" at #8 Del Fino Place (next to Cafe Rustica). Believing in the generous support of our community at large, we are now busy laying the groundwork for a fantastic year! This recent transition to a nonprofit organization enables us to broaden our outreach among the local art community and bring art experience to more people by:
a) being more inclusive for local studio artists,
b) offering "Just For Kid’s" workshops, FREE under 14 yrs. c) continuing adult instruction in multi media ~ painting in oil and acrylic, mosaic, and other media,
d) starting our own CVAA plein aire group at local C.V. venues with various CVAA Featured Artists,
e) reinstating our popular ‘paint-n-sip’ events with Featured Artist Linda Elling... and so much more. Carmel Valley Art Association has long been the artistic “hub” and the largest fine art gallery in the region with an impressive roster of local talent. The CVAA promotes local art and artists. Visitors and locals alike come to the gallery to enjoy the variety and to be inspired. Please take a moment now to support the arts and artists through CVAA. Large or small, all financial support helps to nurture art in our community. TO DONATE NOW: https://checkout.square.site/merchant/MLCZWB556PEEP/checkout/HTNAP6HJAKZNM4E3K3Y5K3XT

Happy Wedding Anniversary to CVAA Board of Director MaryAnn Leffel and HAL for “60 YEARS”… and going strong!
Our long road of friendship started back in the mid 80’s when Maryann was president of the bank across the street from our store - in the Court of Fountains - “Shelley & Mom” (Retail / Wholesale). She gave us our first business loan!
We’ve been good buddies and had tons of fun and good memories ever since!
Always surround yourselves with those who make you feel like sunshine!
