Downtown Monterey is buzzing: a number of new businesses have opened or will open soon (Restaurant 1833, Caffe Trieste, Pinkberry and Starbucks… with more to be announced soon).
Here’s another reason to explore Monterey’s rejuvenated downtown: the weekend of Sept. 30-Oct. 2, the inaugural Art in the Adobes festival will display masterpieces of California art that have been hidden from public view for decades. The venues: some of Monterey’s most historic adobes, including the former home of Robert Louis Stevenson.
Some of California’s greatest painters, sculptors and photographers lived in Monterey in the late 19th Century, producing some of the most important works in the cultural history of the West.
Along with an opportunity to view some of the finest examples of the period, this new festival will feature lectures, live period music, and an opening night reception.
We’re including two free day passes to Art in the Adobes if you book a stay in this one bedroom, one bath penthouse apartment overlooking Monterey Bay that includes the Sept. 30-Oct. 2 weekend. It has a view worth painting—and every accoutrement you need in a “home away from home.”
