Salinas

Salinas is a city known for its agriculture. Instead of selling strawberries and lettuce, a group of artists has come together to sell their work once a month in what they’re calling a different kind of farmers market. It’s the brainchild of two local high school art teachers who want to cultivate art in the city.

The city of Salinas is funding more public art through budgeting and local partnerships. New murals are coming to three underpass tunnels of Highway 101, which bisects the city.

The City of Salinas is home to one of the Central Coast’s most important literary figures. It’s the birthplace of John Steinbeck and the setting for some of his most famous novels like "East of Eden" and "Of Mice and Men."
