Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carmel Art Association
After searching, I have to say "delete" on this article. There isn't anything that distinguishes it from the tens of thousands of of non-profit art spaces around the country (or around the world for that matter.)  It is local in scope and coverage. That a few "notable" artists showed there is irrelevant because notability is not inherited . It seems to be a pay-to-play membership-type gallery, and that always makes my skin crawl. These types of galleries are oriented towards tourism, and this one is no different judging by the fact that most of what I saw online were promoting tourism or travel to Carmel, not serious art collecting of museum quality work of art historical significance. The fact that it is the oldest gallery in Carmel isn't relevant; doesn't every town everywhere that has art galleries have an oldest one? The book that was published on it was written by one of it's artist members, so I doubt it is an independent, art historical/art critical publication. Does not meet both requirements of  as the scope of their activities is local not national or international in scale. I'm not sure about the second requirement but for sure it doesn't pass the first criteria. Does not meet  either
