We are a group of volunteers who love cowboy poetry, western music, cowboy movies and western art and gear. We formed a non-profit corporation 501(c)(3) in order to bring the best western entertainment and art to Monterey County and especially the historical City of Monterey. Our charitable partner is the Salvation Army. They have been living the cowboy way for some time.

The mission of the Monterey History and Arts Association (MHAA) is to share the histories and the diverse legacies of people, stories, and places that continue to shape the Monterey region. MHAA instituted Montery's historic landmark program and created the Path of History, which guides visitors to historic sites in old Monterey. MHAA possesses extensive collections of furnishings, paintings, photographs, costumes, books, manscripts, and other artifcats, and is the parent organization of the Museum of Monterey (MoM) which features History, Arts, Innovation, and Maritime. MHAA owns and preserves Casa Serrano Adobe, Mayo Hayes O'Donnell Library, and the Frances Doud House and garden.

The mission of Monterey Jazz Festival is to celebrate the legacy of jazz, expand its boundaries, and provide opportunities to experience jazz through performances and education programs.

Contemporary galleries complement the old-world elegance and lavish rose gardens of this gorgeous, historic estate. Located in one of Monterey’s oldest neighborhoods, La Mirada began as a modest stone adobe in the Mexican period. It was later remodeled to become an elegant home where the great stars of silent film were entertained. In 1994, the gallery wing was added to accommodate outstanding exhibitions that change several times a year. MMA La Mirada is a perfect venue for weddings, meetings and special events.

"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.
