The Contemporary Art Group, Incorporated, became an independent not-for-profit organization in 2006. Begun as a special interest group within the Westfield Art Association, the CAG re-defined “contemporary” to mean “alive and currently producing art.” The group is currently affiliated with the Watchung Arts Center www.watchungarts.org, where CAG members are considered “artists-in-residence.”
The mission of the Contemporary Art Group is to:
- Provide a forum for the discussion and exchange of ideas
- Share information about the contemporary art world
- Offer opportunities for members to show their work and gain recognition
The CAG offers its members opportunities to exhibit their work – in group and solo shows – at different venues throughout the year. To this end information on members and their work is presented to galleries and art venues in New Jersey. To qualify for exhibits, members must serve on a committee, attend meetings, and help with the shows. Members must also pay annual dues to the Contemporary Art Group and to the Watchung Arts Center.
Our meetings are held at the Watchung Arts Center. Following a discussion of business and upcoming exhibits, there is usually time for a short presentation by a member or guest and a chance for informal group discussion and exchange between individuals. The CAG also hosts meet-and-greets and a holiday dinner for its current and prospective members. We enjoy getting to know each other as we become familiar with each other’s artwork.
