Origins of The CAC
The history of the California Art Club is intertwined with that of the Painters Club of Los Angeles which was founded in March 1906 by a group of California's early professional artists in order to arrange exhibitions and further the fine arts in the Southland. After several years and a number of successful exhibitions it became apparent to the members that the scope of the organization, which was open only to male painters, was too limited and a consensus arose to dissolve the organization in order to form one that was wider in scope.

Where the hinges let it move, were living things,
Barnacles, mussels, water weeds—and one
