Monterey Peninsula Art Forum
"By Artists - For Artists"
Monterey Peninsula Art Forum's mission is to provide emerging and established Monterey area artists opportunities to show and sell their artworks to the public.
Associate Members receive an Artist Portfolio Page on this website, can participate in our Art Salons, and show works at our Annual Exhibition (for an additional art entry fee, no theme, no jury). Associate Membership is not Gallery Membership. Gallery Members show and sell their works in our retail shop at 425 Cannery Row. There are 33 artist spaces in the gallery. Each Gallery Member pays Associate Member dues, a monthly display fee and volunteers 6 hours per month to run the gallery. The Gallery pays a commission for gallery sales. New gallery members are juried into the gallery by the MP Art Forum Board of Directors based on available space, art subject matter and ability to run the shop. Gallery Members are voting members. They vote for the board which manages the gallery and the corporation. MP Art Forum stands on the shoulders of the Monterey Peninsula Art Foundation, begun in 1975.

Salons
MPAF hosts occasional Salons. We meet at various locations on the Monterey Peninsula to share art, music, poetry, etc. To attend, reserve your space to participate by contacting our Members-at-Large Director, Diane Grindol: [email protected]
At the Salon, each participant talks for about 10 minutes about an art piece they have brought. Art pieces include dance, music, poetry as well as visual art. Each Salon has a theme suggested by assorted prompts. |
