Art & Stage
Carmel grew up as a colony of artists, writers and musicians, and it still shows: a gallery founded in 1927, an open-air theatre in the pines, and a concert hall that hosts the Carmel Bach Festival.

After the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, artists, writers and musicians arrived in Carmel; Mary Austin, George Sterling and Jack London are among the figures photographed here in the early 1900s. (Wikipedia)
The Carmel Art Association was founded on 8 August 1927 and is called Carmel’s oldest gallery. It now stands on Dolores Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues. (Wikipedia, Carmel Art Association)
The Forest Theater held its first performance on 9 July 1910, with David and Saul. Herbert Heron helped build it, and Devendorf offered the land free. The city received the theater in 1937, the WPA rebuilt it, and it reopened in 2016 after a closure that began in 2014. (Wikipedia)
The Carmel Bach Festival dates to 1935 and uses Sunset Center, the Carmel Mission Basilica and other venues around the village. The city bought the Sunset School in 1965 to turn it into a cultural center. (Wikipedia, Wikipedia, Bach Festival)
