“We were browsing stores on Lighthouse Avenue and were attracted by the wind chimes displayed outside Artisana Gallery, so we went inside. With the help of a friendly staff person, we found just what were seeking, a reasonably priced set of wind chimes in the right pitch range. There is a large selection of great sounding wind chimes. We got the Corinthian Bells 30" (color Plum), which have a delightful tone.”
“Wonderful little treat! Such a cute shop FULL of hidden treasures custom made by Babs, the owner. Plan on spending time looking at every inch because there's so many hidden pieces, art, and treasures tucked away in the displays and on the walls!
Also, stop in and check out her son Derek's brand new shirt and hat collection that's an homage to the marine research taking place in Monterey Bay.”
“One of the best places to stop by at Cannery row, full of culture, art, beauty and the best customer service ever, we obtain the most amazing explanation of the meaning of the alebrijes and Roberto the owner looked for our alebrije animals and was so accurate and special that he shared such an incredible part of his culture with us! We will definitely be back next time that we visit!!!”
“Monica Graham Fine Art is a MUST STOP when visiting Carmel By the Sea. From the moment you step into the gallery, you're immersed in a world where bold vision meets refined elegance — a space that celebrates artistic innovation and emotional resonance.
MGFA isn’t just a gallery — it’s a destination for collectors, creatives, and anyone seeking inspiration. Monica’s passion for art and her intuitive understanding of her clients’ aesthetic needs make every visit feel personal and transformative. Whether you're discovering emerging talent or acquiring a statement piece, this gallery delivers a world-class experience with a warm, local touch.”
“A fun store with affordable original art owned by great people (who sometimes have a great dog at the store!). Even sent our purchases home for us so we didn't have to try to pack them - so sweet! You should definitely stop here if you find yourself in Pacific Grove.”
“Incredible place, exhibits change about once a month, and there are a lot of different art classes offered throughout the week. You usually have to be a resident artist in order to have your work displayed.”
“I went to the Monterey History and Art Museum for a concert, and it was such a cool experience. The building itself has so much character and history, which made the atmosphere feel unique and special. The concert setup inside felt intimate, like you’re part of something really local and authentic. I also enjoyed looking around at the art and exhibits before the music started — it gave the night a cultural vibe. The acoustics were surprisingly good for a museum space, and the sound carried beautifully. The staff was welcoming and helpful, which added to the positive energy. It’s the kind of place where history, art, and live music blend together perfectly. Definitely a memorable experience in Monterey.”
“Our granddaughter goes to the Youth Art Collective. They have wonderful mentors. We just attended their annual show & the Art was beautiful. So many creative people displayed & sold their art. It was a fund raiser that show cased many types of art.”
“So great chatting with the kind owner - this is our second time to the gallery (me and my boyfriend) and we always love chatting with her and seeing the art. Our favorite item was the girl with bird painting by Smirnov. Thank you and we look forward to coming back soon!”
“I just purchased one of my first original pieces of art at Nancy Dodds Gallery, and I'm thrilled. My husband and I recently purchased a house, and we're starting to collect art on our travels. Nancy was so nice and helpful, and I love the vibe of the gallery. My lovely new painting by Zoya Scholis now hangs in my living room, and I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Nancy, for all your help!”
“A must visit gallery while in Carmel. You won't be disappointed. If you're lucky, you'll run into Aaron, his wife and two fabulous Saluki dogs : )”
“Such a great store. The people were so friendly. We bought many gifts to bring back home to our family and friends. Will be back for sure next time we are in the area. They even gave us a nice keychain charm for protection in our travels that I still keep on my bag. Love the vibes here.”
“WOW! Amazing lanterns and so many eye-catching items in this store. Yes, it is very expensive, but we are sure their rent is high also. Definitely a lot of "eye-candy" in here! Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!”
“I love bringing home artwork from travels- makes a much nicer souvenir than a piece of theme merchandise. I knew the area was known for galleries and was very hopeful. So thankful to have found Cheryl's place, because even though there were lots of pieces in Carmel I liked, they were at MUCH higher price point. Bringing home a lovely landscape, can't wait to display it.”
“My wife and I walked in here during our tour of Carmel and aren’t we glad we did! All of the staff were lovely and their collection of photography is impressive. We walked away with two photographs, one from Michael Milner and one from Brett Wetson. A big thank you to Julia for all of her help!!”
“Venture Gallery might just be Monterey’s best-kept secret! This charming gallery showcases an incredible variety of artwork—all created by talented local artists. From watercolor, acrylic, and oil paintings to printmaking, jewelry, woodwork, and glass art, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. One of the unique aspects of Venture Gallery is that there’s always an artist on duty, making every visit a personal and engaging experience. The exhibits change every two months, ensuring there’s always something new to discover. Conveniently located next to the Portola Plaza Hotel & Spa, it’s the perfect stop on the way to the Wharf, Custom House Plaza, or the Conference Center. A true gem in the heart of Monterey!”
“Greg and his wife are the GREATEST !! I'm from out of town and they did a frame for me in 4 days to take back with me. Loved the finished product and their service.”
“I was helped by Olga she was the sweetest. I picked out some cute hoop earrings. Never felt pressured to pick anything. Would definitely recommend stopping by everything is so beautiful here.”
“The garden area to walk through to get there is so magical. It reminds me of the Secret Garden. They have the Disney puzzle's there as well as all the beautiful paintings.”
