For centuries, egg tempera was artists’ preferred medium for panel paintings, and many of the medieval and renaissance masterpieces found in museums and art galleries were executed in egg tempera. More durable than oil and with a luminosity similar to watercolour, egg tempera offers many advantages to artists willing to embrace the challenge of working with this ancient medium.
We believe art-making feeds the soul... Our education program is rooted in the belief that art and creative personal expression is a vital part of life. We hire local teaching artists to share their passion and technical expertise through classes, workshops, and private lessons. All experiences welcome, ages 13 and up.
Open Ground Studios is an oasis for self-expression through the artistic soul; a safe-haven for the novice, an ally for the professional artist and entrepreneur, and a home for the creative adult.
OGS is a place where art is the vehicle for learning, practice and connection.
Since 1969, Pacific Grove Art Center has been a community based nonprofit seeking to enhance art appreciation and encourage the creation of art. With the desire to have art available to everyone, PGAC has held low cost classes, free exhibits, and offered reduced rent for artist’s studios for over 40 years. Emerging to established artists are professionally shown in our historic galleries, and large group shows can provide the first step into the art world for many. Through generous donations, grants, and hundreds of volunteered hours, the Art Center continues its mission today.
