"By artists, for artists." The Monterey Peninsula Art Foundation (MPAF) was founded to bring artists together for fellowship, the exchange of ideas, and to further art education of artists and the public. The MPAF gallery is open every day from 11am to 5pm (except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's day.) 425 Cannery Row, Monterey, CA. Operated as a co-op, each represented artist is on duty at the gallery one day per month and is available for any questions, etc. This way, we can also keep prices very affordable. We ship to anywhere in the USA and Canada.
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.
