First Night Monterey - Celebrating Art and Community!

SUMMER ART CAMP REGISTRATION OPEN NOW!

Children of all ages love the chance to be creative, and First Night Monterey's Summer Art Camps use arts as a catalyst to nurture creativity and enhance skills in a non-competitive, safe and fun environment. No prior experience or talent needed. There is a lot of fun and learning with age-appropriate mentoring as your children create in a real art studio environment and have the opportunity to paint, draw and make with a variety of materials. Each Friday features a gallery exhibit of their work completed during the summer camp week. SIGN UP NOW - SPACE IS LIMITED!

ABOUT THE POSTER/BUTTONS FOR FNM 2024!

Since 2003, First Night Monterey staff has collaborated with CSUMB and the Service Learning class for Publication Design students, engaging the students into a creative competition to design the annual First Night Monterey Poster and Buttons. FNM artists work with the design students from theme concept to design for five weeks in class until selection of the final design. The winner, Tatiana Cabrera, assisted with production of the graphics for print and web.
