About us
Our stated purpose is to bring together in close cooperation the active artists of this area who are interested in furthering their own studies in art and art appreciation; help others who are just beginning to increase their knowledge and to promote exhibitions of original art. Many of our members are entering the world of art for the first time and have yet to exhibit or sell one of their works. An important benefit of being a member is the fact that our membership includes many talented and experienced professional artists who are pleased to share their knowledge. The CBAA prides itself on trying to foster a friendly and interactive atmosphere.

John B. Tenney Memorial Scholarship Fund
From it's inception, the CBAA began the tradition of offering a scholarship to a local high school graduate to aide in futherance of their art studies. Charter Member John B. Tenney began fund-raising efforts by donating one of his paintings for auction. Due to Mr. Tenney's efforts and support, the tradition of raising funds for the scholarship grew and expanded to become part of all CBAA shows.
Upon his death in 1989, the members of the CBAA renamed the scholarship fund, the "John B. Tenney Memorial" Scholarship Fund in his honor.
Mr. Tenney was born in Raleigh, N.C. and for more than 30 yrs. resided in Willoughby Spit, Norfolk, Va. He was married to the late Francis Tenney, also a local artist and art teacher for the Portsmouth Public Schools. He was a member of the Virginia Beach, Tidewater, and Chesapeake Bay Art Associations. He won over 100 awards in Local and Regional shows and his work may still be found in many East Coast Galleries. We are thankful for his work in getting the scholarship program off the ground and his many gracious contributions of prints donated to raise funds.
