At Pebble Beach concours for 2019, there is no AFAS tent

AFAS means Automotive Fine Arts Society. They lost their turf on the Pebble green when Lincoln pulled out as sponsor.
I don't know what's going to be in the building (sort of like a tent with hardwood floors) instead but I wouldn't be surprised if it's an automaker as McLaren was in the tent next to them last year.

But you art aficinados, don't despair. There is art to be bought i Monterey during car week. In the Inn at Spanish Bay, a second hotel in Pebble Beach, there is a show called Auto Retro featuring paintings, prints, sculpture, etc I don't think its open Concours day but it is in the days leading up to the Concours. On Saturday, the day before Pebble Beach, there's Concorso Italiano with at least two art tents among 50 or more booths. Earlier in the week, in the Embassy Suites hotel in Monterey, ending Wednesday evening, there is a show called Automobilia with paintings, prints, historic photographs, sculpture and lots of memorabila. Still I miss the AFAS as each booth during the Saturday night cocktail reception had the artisf present, larger than life! I feaar I will never see so many of their artists together in one place again unless they find another equal sized venue...

ps here's one of my own works from Art & Books, my booth at Concorso

One gallery in Carmel, th New Master's Gallery, is advertising Charles Maher paintings including one of a swb 250GT. Does anyone know of other galleries in Carmel that will feature automotive art during Car Week?
