About Us
The Chicago Art Critics Association, or C.A.C.A., was formed on Valentine's Day, 1998. We have contributed to the Chicago art scene through panel discussions, gallery talks, and occasional publications. As a professional association we afford our members fellowship, mutual advice, and discussions about our field of endeavor. By late 2009, we had become largely inactive as a group, though our indvidual members remain very active.

Occasionally someone asks about our group's name. Our two co-founders chose our group's name with a self-deprecating chuckle, well aware of the resulting acronym.
