Carmel has a storied history as an arts center teeming with creativity. It feels hidden and protected,  nestled around a perfect crescent beach which serves as the city’s promenade and playground, perfectly situated between vibrant San Francisco and the laid back magic of Big Sur. The region is a magnet for artists and musicians who thrive in this environment. Carmel Modern is focused on providing a venue for modern and contemporary artists who reside in the area.  Their work reflects the natural beauty of the area while expressing new perspectives through the use of bold colors, shapes and motifs. We look forward to welcoming you to the gallery.
