The 114th Annual Gold Medal Exhibition by the California Art Club wraps up on Aug. 7 in the South Bay at the VEFA Gallery in Los Angeles, a new and innovative contemporary art space with the mission of making art more accessible.
The event, which began June 11, has made a name for itself by featuring contemporary-traditional fine art. This year organizers put on display nearly 170 diverse works of art, with a focus on realist paintings and sculptures that employ classical techniques and highlight modern themes—a stark contrast to the popular abstract, avant garde, and digital art of the present day.
