The Carmel Arts & Design District has been nominated by a panel of experts for USA Today’s 10Best Arts Districts in the nation.
Carmel residents may have the best galleries, restaurants, boutiques, the most unique public art, and the most dedicated community, but it’s time to prove that to the rest of the nation. Winning this title isn’t just about the accolade; it’s about putting local artists and small businesses on the national map.
Over the next two weeks, the city will spotlight its premier district: the food, the people and, of course, the art that makes it special. Follow along on the Experience Carmel Facebook page and the Carmel Friday newsletter.
You can vote once per day through Monday, Feb. 16 at this link. Every vote counts.
