MULTI-MEDIA LECTURE “THE ART HISTORY OF CANNERY ROW” - Wednesday, September 21 @ 7:00 P.M.
Painter Dick Crispo covers the colorful artists and the fine art inspired by Monterey's Cannery Row, made world famous by John Steinbeck's 1945 novel. When the sardines left Monterey in the 1950s, some of the empty canneries became artist's studios, but even before that time Monterey Peninsula artists were drawn to the unique flavor of Cannery Row.
