Event Overview
Carmel on Canvas transforms the city into an open-air studio as acclaimed artists from across the region gather to paint live on-site. Over the course of two exciting days, artists will set up their easels at Carmel's most iconic destinations—including the Arts & Design District, Midtown, Carmel City Center, and the Japanese Gardens—to capture our community's beauty, energy, and character in real time.
