Afternoon softens into dusk on a charming storefront-lined street as an air of anticipation builds – the day is far from over. It’s an Art Walk evening, and local artists are displaying their works on the sidewalks and in shops and galleries while live music beckons from a neighboring corner.
Once a month, Pacific Grove and Salinas offer a free Art Walk. Visitors and locals are invited to stroll through the historic downtown areas and enjoy fine art, light refreshments, music and wine tasting. What better way to greet old friends, make new acquaintances, discover original masterpieces, and create lasting memories? And every month, the Monterey Museum of Art opens its doors for its "Third Thursdays" receptions with free admission and the opportunity to view the latest exhibit.
First Fridays in Oldtown Salinas is scheduled for the first Friday of every month from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The Pacific Grove Artwalk in downtown Pacific Grove occurs one Friday each month from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The Monterey Museum of Art's Third Thursdays are celebrated between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.
