"...2019 was a fantastic year in the Village,..." 

To paraphrase Kimberly A. Strassel (2019’s Adult of the Year, WSJ, Friday, January 3, 2020), it is the rare official who does not circle the wagons, also “the rare person willing to subject his institution to scrutiny for its own good-and that of the country” (city).

Carmel Art Association Presents RON GRAUER, RENAISSANCE MAN: A MEMORIAL EXHIBITION, DICK CRISPO ‘COLORS OF DARKNESS IN A NEW LIGHT’ & JANUARY ART SALE

“Carmel’s Oldest Gallery”
“Local Professional Art Since 1927”


The Association exists to provide its members with a permanent art gallery, to advance knowledge of, and interest in the arts, and to create a spirit of cooperation and fellowship among artists and the community. 

A Proud Heritage: 
The legendary Carmel Art Association was formed on August 8, 1927 by a small group of artists who gathered at “Gray Gables,” the modest home/studio of Josephine Culbertson and Ida Johnson at the corner of Seventh and Lincoln in Carmel-by-the-Sea. These nineteen “pioneers”—who grew up in the 19th century and individually found their respective paths to Carmel from all corners of the world—each desired a greater sense of community, a spirit of collaboration, and a place to show their work. Before the meeting concluded, they had established an association with a mission “to advance art and cooperation among artists, secure a permanent exhibition space, and promote greater fellowship between artists and the public.” 

W/s Dolores St. between 5th Av. & 6th Av.
10:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M., Daily
Open to the Public at No Charge
