This exhibition has a long history having no theme to encourage artists to take artistic risks and create what they consider to be their most important works. As a result, Gold Medal artists use classical methods to express vital modern messages, ranging from environmental preservation to social issues and attitudes.

With the 113th installment of this storied exhibition on view at the Hilbert, visitors are offered a rare opportunity to view the most exceptional representational works being created today by current Club artists, as well as significant artwork of historic CAC artists in the museum’s permanent collection.

Make your FREE reservations to explore our spaciously reimagined expansion! Visitors will now find a striking new two-building ensemble offering 26 galleries for rotating displays of the more than 5,000 oils, watercolors, illustrations, drawings, pieces of movie production art and more in the growing Hilbert Collection.
