Vendedoras de Flores, Alfredo Ramos Martinez

At the invitation of Millard Sheets, Alfredo Ramos Martinez arrived in Claremont and designed 100 foot fresco, The Flower Vendors, for the Margaret Fowler Garden on the Scripps campus. He had only sketched in the work and painted a small portion before his death on November 8, 1946. Ramos Martinez‘s presence,though brief, and his Fowler Garden mural embodied the respect for the Mexican mural movement shared among artists of the Claremont community.

Come see the many murals depicted in our Walls that Speak: Chicana/o Mural Art, 1970s-1990’s, that truly represent and inspire the many Chicana/o voices of their generation. Their artistry still lives among all of us as a reminder of their vibrant existence, despite their political, social, and cultural struggles.

Important Board of Directors Announcement

It is with regret that the Board of Directors of the Chaffey Community Museum of Art has accepted the resignation of Dr. Wendy Slatkin as CCMA board member and exhibit chair. In her letter of resignation, Wendy cited personal reasons, including her desire to spend more time with her family and new grandchild and the need to reevaluate her volunteer commitments.

CCMA deeply appreciates Wendy’s two years of service to CCMA. During her tenure as exhibit chairman she brought scholarship and a focus on artists of the Pomona Valley to the museum. This, combined with the two books she wrote and CCMA published, is her legacy.
