Building a Legacy:
Founding a Museum, Building a Collection

In the San Gabriel Valley, Claremont has nurtured, and continues to nurture, hundreds of artists representing the widest possible range of artistic expression. They were born here, have lived here, or were shaped here through the town's outstanding educational institutions.

The Claremont Museum of Art's permanent collection, Building a Legacy: Founding a Museum, Building a Collection, is an on-going exhibit comprised of works by notable local artists displayed on a rotating basis. The inaugural showing of the collection (April 15 - June 25, 2007) includes work by Jean Ames, Aldo Casanova, Rupert Deese, Phil Dike, Betty Davenport Ford, James Grant, Susan Lautmann Hertel, Norm Hines, James Hueter, William Manker, Harrison McIntosh, Walter Mix, Roland Reiss, Millard Sheets, Albert Stewart, James Strombotne, and Milford Zornes.
