Celebrating California art–past, present, and future.

As we reopen, your support is critical for us to “Re-start the Arts” by rebuilding our staffing capacity, expanding programming, and continuing to improve the indoor environment for your health and enjoyment. Starting May 20th (the same day MMA reopens to the public) through June 30th, we will be sharing video stories from artists in our community—exploring the power of art and how it helps us “re-start” in the face of challenges, about museums as places for thinking, curiosity, discovery, and inspiration, and about how MMA has benefited artists and community members as partners and collaborators. Thank you for trusting MMA since 1959, and thank you so much for your support to help us “Re-start the Arts.”

Award-winning Color Duets artist Erin Lee Gafill a

Award-winning Color Duets artist Erin Lee Gafill and her husband, artist and producer Tom Birmingham, present a weeklong creative immersion. A celebration of creativity, connection, and family, these Free Family Fun Weeks are designed to awaken the inner artist in folks ages six and up, with a particular eye toward multi-generational connection, both near and far.

Each week consists of three recorded sessions, and culminates in an interactive virtual gathering to review and build upon the three projects. Both weeks will be themed but non-sequential, so you’re welcome to participate in one, some, or all sessions. Childlike wonder encouraged!

May: Exploration of Color. Recorded lessons released May 24, 25, and 26. Live session 11am on Saturday, May 29.

Upon registration, participants will receive a materials list. Suggested materials are intended to be flexible, affordable, and easy to source at home or within your local community.

We're reopening on Thursday with one of our best summer seasons yet!

Born in Boston to a doctor and his concert pianist wife, William Giles moved to London then South Africa and Argentina where the family settled until forced to flee the Peron dictatorship. He became involved with the Black Civil Rights Movement and marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Selma. Will is also an active member of the Native American Church.

Will studied and worked with many wonderful photographers including Minor White, Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lang, Beaumont Newhall, Nathan Lyons, Hollis Todd, Ralph Hattersley, Paul Caponigro, Jerry Uelsmann. He has an MFA from the University of Rochester where later he was Chairman of the Department of Photography. He has taught and given workshops on both coasts.

Visit montereyart.org to learn more about Will's work, purchase tickets to see his photographs in person, and join us virtually on Thursday, May 13th to celebrate our opening exhibitions!
