Associated Artists of the Inland Empire (AAIE) was established in 1964 and held the first Membership art show in the spring of that year. In the years since its beginning, the purpose of AAIE has been to promote the creative talent of its members, to provide an exchange of ideas between area artists, and to generate public interest in fine arts. The meetings and yearly show keep members abreast of a variety of techniques and of what is happening in the art community. At the same time, AAIE hopes to make the community more familiar with art and local artists.
AAIE has grown from a few dedicated members to a current enrollment of about 200 artists. Visit our Membership page for an Application.
New members are accepted on an ongoing basis. Membership is open to artists of all levels of accomplishment, and to those working in any media. The only requirement for membership is a genuine interest in creating or sharing the enjoyment of artwork.
Members are advised by a monthly Newsletter of AAIE upcoming events and art-related events from our area and throughout Southern California. We offer Juried Art Show which allow members to show their art with the community .
The Associated Artists of the Inland Empire has been a proud recipient of the Community Arts Grants from the Rancho Cucamonga Community and Art Foundation (RCCAAF) over many years. In the past they have supported our Annual Art Shows and recently our new web site construction and Art Show Judging Software. In June 2023 we again received the announcement that our 2023-24 Grant request to financially support our Demonstrations and Art Shows was approved. The RCCAAF continues to promote and help the Arts thrive in our community.
A big thank-you to the RCCAAF Board.
