Monterey Peninsula Art Forum is a taxable nonprofit mutual benefit corporation. Our mission is to provide emerging and established Monterey area artists opportunities to show and sell their artworks to the public. It has two levels of membership: Supporting and Gallery.
Supporting Members receive an Artist Portfolio Page on this website, can participate in monthly Salons, and show works at our All-Member Exhibition (for an additional art entry fee, no theme, no jury). Click here for membership information.
Gallery Members show and sell their works in our retail shop on Cannery Row. There are 33 artist spaces in the gallery. Each Gallery Member pays Supporting Membership dues, monthly space rent and volunteers 6 hours per month to run the gallery. Gallery artists are juried into the gallery by the MPAF Board of Directors based on available space, art subject matter and ability to run the shop.
The Forum stands on the shoulders of the Monterey Peninsula Art Foundation, begun in 1975. Click here for the history of MPAF.
