Since its 1909 inauguration, the California Art Club has been dedicated to promoting and supporting contemporary-traditional fine art by championing paintings and sculptures featuring representational practices. The showcase will spotlight more than 160 never-before-exhibited paintings and sculptures, selected by an esteemed panel of art scholars and artists, who reviewed more than 500 submissions from nationally renowned representational artists as well as rising stars.

The Gold Medal Exhibition presents a dynamic reflection of contemporary life, showcasing a diverse range of subjects. From pristine landscapes and seascapes to evocative figures, vibrant urban scenes, and novel still lifes, each work offers a unique perspective shaped by the artist’s vision. Many artworks also extend beyond California’s borders exploring global themes and cultural narratives, further enriching the exhibition’s depth and relevance.

For art enthusiasts interested in a first look at the exhibition, the California Art Club and VEFA Gallery will host the Artists Reception during the afternoon of Sunday, June 8. Tickets may be purchased by visiting californiaartclub.org/goldmedal or emailing cac@.californiaartclub.org.

During the run of the exhibition, educational programs will be presented to foster a greater understanding for traditional art. These activities will include demonstrations on classical art skills and the popular “Meet the Artists” series, in which Gold Medal artists will be in the exhibition galleries every Saturday to talk about their creative processes and answer questions about the works on view.

All artworks are available for acquisition and a portion of the proceeds benefit the California Art Club’s educational programming. For more information about the Gold Medal Exhibition, the featured artwork and related programs, visit californiaartclub.org/goldmedal.
