CCA Gallery & Gifts

Very beautiful art, if you're in the area - I would defiantly stop in! I love that they shine the spotlight on so many different artist, not just one! From jewelry to post cards, they had just about everything but clothing available for purchase (unless they sell clothing on specific occasions). I would love to come back!

What a gem! A group of artists own this gallery and we were greeted by two of them upon entering. A wonderful array of art to peruse in several different rooms. Paintings, sculpture, jewelry, and more! It was a great place to check out and find a couple of gifts. Don't pass this spot by!!

Great stuff in here! I popped my head in during a Second Saturday Gallery walk and was really impressed with what I found. The Center for Creative Arts (CCA) features work from 30+ local artists. Here you'll find ceramic pottery, paintings, woodwork, glass, photography and more. It's fun to explore the nooks and crannies of the space.Some of the pieces are at a reasonable price point - fun Indiana shaped ornaments and paperweights caught my eye on the first visit.I would be interested to go back so I can learn more about the artists and their craft.

CCA Gallery is one of my first steps whenever I visit Carmel, Indiana. I love handmade items, particularly jewelry and pottery. This gallery has a tremendous selection of pottery, gorgeous hand-crafted jewelry, paintings, and more. The best part is that everything is affordable. While some items are more expensive than others, you're to find something you love that will also fit your budget. Or, stop in to find that perfect gift. The staff is friendly and eager to help. Happy shopping!+

We enjoy popping in the CCA Gallery on the Gallery Walk Nights. They are usually on the scavenger hunt and I like looking at all the cool artwork while we are looking for the item on our map. The gallery has a paintings, wood, pottery, glass works, jewelry and photography. I always enjoy looking at the items, especially the jewelry. So many unique and one of a kind items can be found here. If your looking for holiday gifts I would suggest adding CCA to your list of shopping. I really loved the Indiana ornaments. They would be perfect for the Christmas tree, or really year round. They were so beautiful.

On my visit, CCA had some awesome turned wood pieces and hand-thrown vases with built-in flower frogs - to use for Ikebana, ideally - that I really enjoyed. We saw some paintings we liked also, including a few that had a primitive flavor to them, but mostly, we eyeballed the turned wood.The staff member working at the gallery explained to us that the inventory of art rotates about every two months and that artists take turns running the shop. I think this is a great concept - one I wish I could make work for my own field....still thinking on that one a bit.Overall, I found the prices very reasonable as well. I'm no expert, but for the items I would consider buying, I did not experience the same sort of sticker shock I often do at many juried art shows.

The CCA Gallery calls itself Indiana's only co-cop gallery, with 30 resident artists who share the display space. While some of these artists are ameateurs, most of them have a really great sense of style.My favorites include Todd Phillips, whose acrylic on glass creations give them an infused, ethereal quality; Beth Forst, whose paintings of natural landscapes conjure a worthy nod to Monet; and Susan Downs, whose interpretations of roosters and other saucy birds evoke more attitude than any I've seen.

I really enjoy the CCA Art Gallery. I am always able to find good quality affordable art. I think that is the thing that I enjoy the most. The gallery has all price ranges. I love art, but so often when I visit galleries I feel like I may as well be in a museum, because there is no way I can afford anything.While there are pricier items at CCA, it is easy to find an affordable gift or something for you own home to enjoy and to support local artists.

Positives:-Lots of local artists, most of whom have other jobs-Prices are very affordableGood browsing but not a lot of stuff really stuck out as in "Wow. That's really creative."

The very best place to buy handmade art from Indiana artists and meet the artist on duty.
