Carmel Art Galleries

(Carmel - Carmel-by-the-Sea, Monterey County, California - CA, USA)

Those visiting the town of Carmel-by-the-Sea will likely be somewhat surprised and rather overwhelmed by the sheer quantity and quality of the art galleries on offer. With almost 100 different art galleries, exhibitions and studios in this relatively small resort town, Carmel has become famous in California for its arts scene, with more galleries per head than even New York city, showcasing many leading international artists.

As you stroll along the main roads, such as the 5th, 6th and 7th Avenues, Dolores Street, Mission Street and Ocean Avenue, you will find it hard not to encounter many appealing art galleries, competing with each other to tempt you inside and regularly offering new exhibitions and openings.


The Carmel Art Association stands out and is located between the 5th and 6th Avenues, where it remains one of the town most historical galleries. Also of note is the nearby Highlands Sculpture Gallery, which was founded almost 40 years ago and features a variety of stylish, contemporary art works, including bronze sculptures and other eye-catching modern pieces.

Pitzer's of Carmel is amongst the town biggest galleries and is where a variety of quality paintings are to be found, along with a series of popular art-related demonstrations. The award-winning New Masters Gallery is another one to look out for, as is the Gallery Sur, which specializes in photographs capturing the natural beauty of the Monterey Peninsula.
