Chaffey Art Organization

Jodie Cavalier, Art Columnist for The Breeze

If you feel as though your regular school schedule needs a pick me up, join the Chaffey Art Organization. The CAO, for short, is one of the many student ran clubs on campus.

The club's mission is to create and promote art related events and discussion among students.

CAO has organized multiple events this semester.

With support from the Wignall Museum, CAO organized the Sweet Dreams Bake Sale during the Girly Zine Festival on November 3rd. Zine gurus, also known as Grrrl Zines A-Go-Go, taught attendees the "how to" on all things zine. The event was well attended and the club's bake sale fundraiser was a success. Both students and visitors attended the lecture, workshop and faculty walk-through all while enjoying homemade treats.

The CAO has even brought the Inland Empire up to speed with the PBS series art:21. On November 17th the club screened an episode of art:21, which is usually unavailable in the area. The series art:21- Art in the Twenty-First Century, showcases contemporary artist and explores the processes they use to create their work. Each episode in the series has a specific theme.

The art:21 Preview presented by the Chaffey art Organization, chose the theme of "Protest" in conjunction with a lecture by artist Kathleen Rogan, from the Girly Show.

The CAO also has plans to organize an art sale and gallery shop in the spring. The club, with help from the Wignall Museum, will get the hands on experience of creating a show. They will also create a whole product line for the store and renovate the store's space.
