A Haven For Artists
Pacific Grove has long been a haven for artists and now more than ever before. A number of working studios have also sprung up downtown, creating an enthusiastic and inspiring atmosphere. Within just a few blocks, you’ll find a dozen galleries and working studios. We highly recommend dedicating a Saturday afternoon to your own private art walk.
Discover Pacific Grove, P.O. Box 51201, Pacific Grove, CA 93950 • (831) 643-9900
The Visitor's & Locals Place for Information about Pacific Grove, CA and Monterey County
Start at 213 Grand Avenue, where you’ll find that guy you always see at Asilomar Beach painting those masterful seascapes. Barry Marshall has finally opened a studio gallery so we can see his completed works and even take one home. Then continue down the street to 170 Grand where you’ll find an enchanting little enclave of artists working in their studios—painting, stitching, grouting— almost like Santa’s elves. Follow the hallway to its end for a most magical experience. There, mosaic artist, Murphy Stefana Robins, holds court in her brilliantly whimsical studio, usually with grout on her hands, always with a smile on her face. Robins also showcases the work of a half dozen of her artist friends in this unique space. It’s truly a stop not to be missed.
Lives On At Canterbury Woods
Canterbury Woods Senior Living Community was built on the site of the former Holiday House, a 17-room mansion owned by Miss Margaret Tennant. The Holiday House was built to be used exclusively for philanthropic and educational purposes. Her wishes were carried out for 67 years, first as a home for seniors, then “unfortunate” girls, and, then, a “rest, cure sanitarium.”
“Lovers’ Point” - by Victor Arnautoff, 1940
The mural that graces the wall of the Pacific Grove Post Office is part of the Works Progress Administration (W.P.A.) Federal Art Project, created to help provide economic relief to the American citizens suffering through the Depression. This program produced over 225,000 works of public art. Victor Arnautoff was assigned to create a mural for Pacific Grove. This talented artist studied at the California School of Fine Arts before moving to Mexico to work as an assistant to Diego Rivera. He returned to California and taught art at Stanford University for more than 20 years before moving permanently to his native Russia. The most well known of Arnautoff’s works is “City Life,” the largest mural in San Francisco’s Coit Tower collection. Others are on public display throughout the Bay Area, in Richmond, and Palo Alto, California.
While the majority of these Federal Art Project murals are images of hard working people and historical events, Arnautoff chose a day at the beach for Pacific Grove.
