By long tradition, Monterey Peninsula Art Foundation, Inc. 
believes that artists must have an opportunity to show their work
and to that end we hold an all-member exhibition
at a showing space open to the public.
The 2024 Exhibition was held at Pacific Grove Art Center.
Watch this space for the announcement of the 2025 Annual Exhibition.

Monthly Salon

MPAF hosts a monthly Salon for members. We meet at various locations on the Monterey Peninsula for 1 and a 1/2 hours. 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.
