A Century of Supporting the Arts

in

The Kingsley Art Club promotes the knowledge and appreciation of art among its members and the community; and encourages the teaching of the arts.

The Kingsley Art Club was founded in 1892 for “the creation and development of artistic spirit in the members and the dissemination of artistic sentiment generally in the community, thus elevating the tone of society”. The club was named for Eldridge Kingsley, a leading engraver of the time, and membership was limited to 50 women in “good standing”. Today the mission of the Kingsley Art Club is educational: to promote the knowledge and appreciation of art among its members and in the community, and to promote and encourage the teaching of the arts. Kingsley is incorporated as a California non-profit organization and membership is open to both men and women.

The long standing Crocker-Kingsley has moved to Blue Line Gallery. This year features a special award to feature award winners at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, CA.

As many of you know, our major fundraiser is the Crocker-Kingsley juried art exhibition, and some of you have asked about plans for the next show. The Board of Directors is pleased to announce that we are forming a new partnership that includes both the Crocker Art Museum and Blue Line Gallery in Roseville for our next show. It will open in on November 17, 2012 run through January 5, 2013. The winners from that show will move to the Crocker for a small exhibition in the museum after the show at Blue Line closes. We are currently working with Julie Hirota and Tony Natsoulas of the Blue Line Gallery. Watch future Kingsley newsletters for more details of the Crocker-Kingsley at Blue Line, including ways you can volunteer to help.
