Membership in the CAA Associates offers exciting and unique opportunities to serve our community by furthering the programs and goals of the organization.

A quarterly newsletter and getting to know the Carmel Art Association artists are additional reasons to join.

Volunteers play a key role by providing assistance and energy. Willing hands are needed to help out as mail-stuffers, greeters, servers, and setup and cleanup crews. But most importantly, the CAA Associates, through their volunteer involvement, show their appreciation and support of the Carmel Art Association.
