Marjorie Evans Gallery
Celebrating Local Artistry | Expanding Access to the Arts
The Marjorie Evans Gallery at Sunset Center fosters the creative spirit of the Central Coast by providing a dynamic and high-visibility venue for visual artists from across the region. Each year, through a competitive selection process that draws a wide pool of talented applicants, five individual artists or arts collectives are selected to exhibit their work in professionally curated shows.
Each exhibition runs for two months and includes promotional support and access to a reception space with event setup and staffing offered at no cost to the artist. This ensures equitable access for both emerging and established artists, while fostering meaningful engagement between the public and the creative community.
Located in the North Wing of Sunset Center, the gallery is free and open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 4 PM, as well as during all public performances and events. Thousands of visitors pass through the venue annually, encountering a vibrant range of artistic expression across diverse mediums. While many works are available for purchase, all sales are handled directly between the artist and buyer, supporting independent artists and encouraging personal connection.
More than an exhibition space, the Marjorie Evans Gallery is an invitation - to explore, to reflect, and to connect. As a key part of Sunset Center's Education & Outreach initiatives, the gallery expands access to the arts and helps preserve the rich cultural fabric of our region.
This program is made possible through generous contributions to our Education & Outreach Fund. Your support helps keep this space free and accessible to all. Donate today to sustain the work of the artists who inspire us all.
