Monterey Bay Area Art and Culture
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. Indeed, 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. On the following pages, we present the best of the art and culture scene — offerings worthy of your standing ovation.
