Venture Gallery presents the work of Wiliam Eatmon, our featured artist for April. His exhibit, entitled Angels, consists of ten original paintings.

Look back in your life and remember an experience where you could have been in a serious situation, but a stranger appeared and helped you out of this situation never to be seen again. Maybe it was an angel who helped you. Angels are most often depicted with wings, halos, and flowing garments, but they most often look just like us.

Venture Gallery is now open six days a week, 10am-6pm (closed on Tuesday). William Eatmon's artwork will be featured through April 2023. Venture Gallery is located at 260 Alvarado Street in Downtown Old Monterey. Visit our website to shop online for work by our local artists.
