Galleries, museums, and performing arts steeped in tradition
One of the West Coast’s earliest artist colonies, the Monterey Peninsula holds a deep, meaningful place as a regional school in the larger story of American Impressionism. This land of inspiration also drew authors and musicians, who have carried on a tradition that sets the stage for world-class visual and performing arts in one of the most breathtaking destinations on Earth.
