Monterey Peninsula Art Foundation, Inc.
Monterey Peninsula Art Foundation is a fellowship of artists and art lovers. MPAF was founded by Dick Crispo, Rudolfo Nava, Ilene Tuttle, and Kay Cline in Dick Crispo's living room in the mid 1970s. Click here for the complete story of the founding of MPAF.
By long tradition, MPAF does not jury an artist's work. MPAF believes that artists must have an opportunity to show their work and to that end we have an all-member annual exhibition at a showing space open to the public. This year's Exhibition is at the Pacific Grove Art Center.

Membership in MPAF
Membership in MPAF is $20 per year and is open to anyone interested in art whether an artist or not. Each member receives a member page to display artwork on this website which is updated every 4 months. Membership in MPAF is not membership in the gallery on Cannery Row, however, your web page on this site does give our board a chance to see your work. As our long-time gallery artists retire, showing spaces become available and new gallery artists are invited in by the MPAF Board. New gallery artists are chosen by their ability and availability to run the shop for one day each month, pay the rental fee (currently $65/month), welcome visitors from around the world, and produce appealing, original artworks. The gallery sales commission is currently 10%.
