For more than a century, Carmel has provided a haven for pets and painters alike. Photographers including Ansel Adams and Cole Weston have been inspired by the exquisite beauty of the Monterey coastline. It's no wonder then, that artists and art lovers are drawn again and again to the lovely and quaint burgh of Carmel-By-the-Sea. This custom tour of Carmel's exclusive art galleries is hosted by a professional tour guide well educated regarding the works of established artists and those just making a name for themselves. You'll enjoy the unique character of Carmel as you walk through streets filled with hundreds of shops and galleries. We'll highlight three diverse galleries where select artists will privately display their works for your group, and will make themselves available to discuss the specific mediums in which they work. Please note, this tour can be designed to reflect the particular tastes and interest of your group specifically.

La Mirada, situated on a two and one-half acre knoll overlooking Lagunita Mirada and Lake El Estero, is one of the region's most significant historic structures. The original adobe portion of the house, built at the turn of the 19th century, was the residence of Mexican general Jose Castro. In 1919, the property was purchased by author and playwright Gouverneur Morris, a descendant of the Revolutionary War figure who helped write the U.S. Constitution. The property passed to the T.A. Work family in the 1930s and in 1983, Frank Work deeded the Castro Adobe/Work Estate to the Monterey Museum of Art Assn. State-of-the-art exhibition space was added in 1993 with the completion of the Jane and Justin Dart Wing, designed by internationally acclaimed architect Charles Willard Moore.
Visitors to La Mirada are treated to an adventure in early California history, to antique furnishings and decorative arts, to exhibitions related to California regional art, Asian art and art of Pacific Rim cultures and to gardens and courtyards richly planted with roses and rhododendrons.
