Back at the turn of the last century, Carmel's small population was dominated by artists. In fact, a 1910 report stated that over 60% of homes in Carmel were owned by individuals pursuing a life in the arts. The pristine beauty, the free-thinking community, and the solitude of Carmel, made it an exciting place in which to develop an artistic voice. Thus was born Carmel's Bohemian art colony. These early artists regularly opened their doors, welcoming the public into their humble studios for an opportunity to socialize and to see the artist at work. A century later, the tradition continues...Welcome to Carmel Art Walk, held from 4-7 PM on the second Saturday of each month. Here's your chance to tour Artist Owned Galleries and to meet the artists who today carry on the Carmel art colony legacy.
