A Studio Gallery in the Sunshine
Summer Art Classes coming soon!
The Carmel Valley Art Association Gallery is located in sunny, warm Carmel Valley Village, next door to the renown Cafe Rustica. Our location—10 miles inland from Carmel-by-the-Sea—is “beyond the fog” that often encompasses the coast (especially in summertime). Enjoy the drive inland through this bucolic valley, past ranches, vineyards, farms and livestock to visit the gallery and meet an artist every day!
Our collection of 30+ local artists includes a wide variety of media and exceptional talent. From painting, mixed media, photography and sculpture to mosaic, ceramic, beading and estate jewelry, there’s something special for everyone who enjoys beauty and unique expression. Select your own one-of-a-kind artwork to take home as a souvenir of your travels to this little slice of heaven.
There’s plenty of easy parking on Del Fino Place. It’s a perfect starting point and short stroll to see all that Carmel Valley Village has to offer in about a half-mile stretch—2 dozen wine tasting rooms, retail shopping & services, beautiful views and award-winning restaurants. Come visit! We’d love to meet you.
