Bakersfield Art Association Presenting for American Art Week

From the exhibition pamphlet: “Some CAC artists who have demonstrated for Bakersfield Art Association in the past are: Loren Barton, Leonard Kester, Orpha Klinker, Rex Brandt, Phil Paradise, Douglas Parshall, and of course Paul Lauritz, who is one of our own life members and a “pillar” to our foundation.

It is with great pride that we offer this exhibit exemplifying the joy in creation found and captured by this group of artists.
