Synopsis

The spirit of a new century and a sense of lofty purpose motivated a group of artists in 1904 to incorporate themselves as the San Diego Art Association and dedicate themselves to "...the study and encouragement of art in all its higher branches." Local artists were increasing in number and importance-in a still young, still small (about 35,000 inhabitants) San Diego, an obscure port city that had previously attracted only the occasional itinerant portrait painter. Career artists, many of them trained in Eastern and European academies and ateliers, took up residence in San Diego at the turn of the century, establishing guilds, galleries, and associations dedicated to the creation, exhibition, and collection of art.
