Organization Information

Mission Statement

The primary goals of our association are to foster a better understanding of fine art by the public, to encourage students to pursue art as a career through our scholarship program and to continually challenge our members to strive for excellence and fulfillment.

Description

The Orange Art Association was established in 1970 as a tax-exempt corporation. Our in-person member meeting participation dropped during the pandemic, and now we're trying to rebuild and grow our membership. We meet 9 months out of the year, and at most meetings, we have an esteemed artist demo and an art contest open to members.

OAA is involved in the community in several ways.

Orange Open Show
Every August, with the help of individuals and businesses who donate, the OAA hosts the 'Orange Open’, a juried show open to all artists, at the Guggenheim Gallery at Chapman University. With over 350 combined pieces of artwork entered, selected artists have an opportunity to exhibit and sell their art.

A generous donation from the proceeds from the Orange Open show is presented in the form of scholarships for Chapman University art students in December at the Chapman student art show.

Rotating Art Program
We have our 'Rotating Art’ program that gives emerging artists an opportunity to exhibit and sell their artwork at local venues such as City Hall and Businesses.
