Big Sur Attractions
Big Sur has a culture all its own. It is a community of artists, authors and naturalists, drawn to the area's beauty, sense of trascendence and peace. Big Sur is home to the Henry Miller Library, namesake of the author who called Big Sur "the first place (he) felt at home in America" after arriving in 1945. The library is a cultural pulse point that presents workshops, and hosts music, poetry and art-related events.
Galleries and artist studios dot the landscape. Next door to the venerable Big Sur River Inn sits Studio One: a working studio and gallery. Studio One features abstract and plein air landscapes, still life and figurative paintings by Erin Gafill, and photography by Tom Birmingham. Both artists also offer workshops.
The Big Sur Arts Initiative is an organization designed to support arts programs and events in Big Sur. Their annual Big Sur Hidden Gardens Tour is a sell-out event, and this year will celebrate its 10th year on Saturday, June 21.
