The Cincinnati Art Club was formed in 1890 and is one of the oldest continually operating groups or collectives of artists in the United States.[1]
It was formed for the purpose of “advancing the knowledge and love of art through education.” The Club achieves its mission through exhibitions, lectures, hands-on demonstrations, sketch and painting group work sessions, monthly critique sessions, maintenance of an art library and awarding of student scholarships.[2]
History
[edit]In the latter part of the 1800s a strong colony of working artists had established a small 'Montmartre' on the upper end of Vine Street in Cincinnati.[3] One group of artists gathered informally as the Cincinnati Sketch Club and had its origins in the studio of John Rettig in 1883. The loose collection of artists became the Cincinnati Art Club on 15 March 1890.[4] Its first president was John Rettig and consisted of 14 members (which included a pet dog so the membership number wasn't an unlucky 13).[5] The founding members were: Rettig, Clarence D. Bartlett,[6] James McLaughlin, Edward S. Butler, Matthew A. Daly, Albert O. Elzner, Edward Johnson, Remmington Lane, Leon van Loo, Lewis C. Lutz, William A. McCord, Perry Morris and Joseph Henry Sharp.[7]
The club grew rapidly and within a year of its founding growing to 32 active members and 36 associate members.[1]
Initially the club was bohemian in nature and did not have a fixed abode and met in the homes or studios of members. The host of the meeting would become the owner of all sketches made.[4] In 1907, the club moved to a new home in the Harrison building and was considered the most attractive home to artists in the Middle West.[8] A club house was eventually purchased in 1923 on Third Street.[9]
A regular constitution was adopted in 1892 “to advance the knowledge and love of art through exhibitions of works of art, lectures on subjects pertaining to art, and to promote social intercourse amongst its members.”[5]
The club became an advocate for artists and in 1908, the CAC President John Ritter submitted a letter which was presented at a congressional hearing on the arts tariff in Washington DC before the Ways and Means Committee.[10]
The club was restricted to males until 1979 when women were allowed to become members.[11][12]
