Selections from the Crocker-Kingsley
The Crocker-Kingsley is a biennial, juried exhibition that continues a tradition that began in 1926, when the Kingsley Art Club and the Crocker Art Museum collaborated to produce a show. The Kingsley, founded in 1892, has long partnered with the Crocker and continues today to support arts and culture in the Sacramento region. Featured here are selections from the 82nd Crocker-Kingsley exhibition, a show that attracts both emerging and established artists.

This year, more than 2,500 entries were submitted for consideration, from which juror Grace Kook-Anderson, the Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Curator of Northwest Art at the Portland Art Museum, selected approximately 80 for display at Blue Line Arts in Roseville. From this group, Kook-Anderson selected five works for cash awards. A team of Crocker curators then selected seven pieces—which may or may not have received prizes in Roseville—for display here at the Crocker Art Museum.
Past Crocker-Kingsley exhibitors included artists who went on to become important names in California art, including Robert Arneson, Kathryn Uhl Ball, Elmer Bischoff, David Gilhooly, Ralph Goings, Gregory Kondos, Roland Petersen, Mel Ramos, Ruth Rippon, Fritz Scholder, Jerald Silva, and Wayne Thiebaud.
