Cheryl Watts Pottery & Gallery - Monterey, CA - Art Galleries on Waymarking.com

The Gallery doesn't seem to have a website but it does have this Facebook page (visit link) which seems to focus on the Gallery's use as a performance space and movie theater.

Watts is discussed in this article (visit link) which informs us:

"Potter Cheryl "Sunshine" Watts has been renting studio/gallery space in the Cannery Row Building since ''91, and was an early supporter of Geyer''s American Renaissance Movement. She says it was hard for many of the artists who flocked here in the early ''90s to survive slow tourist seasons. "We don''t get a lot of locals," she admits, adding that the rent increases and the company''s refusal to permit signage on the building was a final blow.

Watts uses her 1,000-square-foot space for her own ceramics, and also as a gallery where she shows the work of some 20 other local artists, some of whom no longer are able to rent on the Row themselves. She used to have openings almost every weekend. Then it went to twice a month, then once a month, and now just once a year.

But Cannery Row is still a draw for artists, Watts believes. "We still have some strong artists here," she says enthusiastically. "The movement is taking a breath right now. It''ll be harder if rents go up, but so long as there''s empty space, artists should come and rent. Gary [Geyer] is really in a pickle. We''re just waiting for the powers-that-be to open the space to him, so he can rent it out.""
