Canapo Art Gallery was opened for business in 1994. Seeing a great demand for Fine Latin Art, Carlos Porras, owner of Canapo Gallery decided to focus on Latin Art in his gallery. Using the broad meaning of the Latin word and its origin from Italy, Canapo Art Gallery features artists from Italy, Spain, France as well as artists from Mexico, Chile, Peru and the rest of Latin America.

Canapo's commitment to bring unique art has been realized through the years with artists such as Mexican watercolorist Ruben Resendiz, who created a new style within the watercolor technique in which he uses only two to three colors creating an amazing effect of light and shadow. Also, Fray Robertino who developed a unique technique called sculpture painting. From Chile, Francisca Valenzuela who has created and mixed techniques combining the realism and abstract styles into one by adding a special texture to her paintings.

Founded by Carmel-by-the-Sea artist Jeanne D’Orge, the Carl Cherry Center for the Arts was established to help support experimental fine arts and projects in the sciences. Since its opening in 1948, the Center has strived to stay true to its mission of presenting quality and diverse artistic, educational, and cultural programs in Monterey County.

CBF's mission is to celebrate the works, inspiration & ongoing influence of J.S. Bach worldwide by immersing audiences in experiences that integrate music, education & ideas, and by meaningful engagement supportive of our diverse communities. We aim to inspire a younger, more diverse, and generally broader population to experience our programs, whether as audience members or students participating in our training programs.
