It is exciting to see the historic Claremont Depot come to life again, reincarnated as a jewel of a small art museum. The opening exhibition, "(re)Generation: Six Decades of Claremont Artists", features selections from the museum’s permanent collection that reflect the region’s rich artistic legacy from the influence of Millard Sheets and the artists who arrived in the 1940s to the GIs who came to study after WWII, to the many contemporary artists who continue to call Claremont home.

Wonderful collection but the new gallery is terribly small. Made the mistake of trying to bring in my stroller, still it's nice to see them up and running again.
