Originally known as California Collagists, Collage Artists of America was founded in 1988 by nine Los Angeles-area women artists proficient in a variety of media who sought to explore the art of collage. Two years later the current name of the organization was adopted and membership grew across the United States. CAA's membership includes art instructors, professional artists who exhibit widely, mid-career and beginning artists, art students and those who have an interest in and love for the art of collage.
CAA holds general meetings five times a year in which stimulating programs are presented by guest artists renowned for their work in collage and assemblage.
Member juried exhibits are mounted annually at venues ranging from galleries and museums to online and alternative spaces.
In addition to meetings and exhibits, CAA offers workshops, newsletters, studio visits and special events.
