Amongst the iconic collections of keepsakes and Monterey-memory-tokens found along Cannery Row are unique shops that contain a different kind of treasure—one of a kind art, jewelry, apparel, and decorative arts that will surprise and delight every shopper. Over the last few years, these showcases of creation have broadened that organic sense of genuine Monterey history and culture for both visitors and locals alike, only adding to the magic of the melting pot that Cannery Row has always been. Sand to Glass is a creatively inspiring gallery, featuring David Alcala’s Sand Tapestry fine art— majestically rendered landscapes portrayed through the delicate and precise maneuvering of colored grains of sand framed between two pieces of glass.

In addition, classes are available for budding artists who want to learn the intricacies of this new art form.
