First Night Monterey - Celebrating 28 Years!
REGISTRATION OPEN NOW FOR 2021 SUMMER ART CAMPS!
Children of all ages love the chance to be creative, and First Night Monterey's Art Day Camps use arts as a catalyst to nurture creativity and enhance skills in a non-competitive, safe, 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 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 camp week. We will have six weeks of camps in June and July.
A VIRTUAL CELEBRATION OF THE ARTS ON NEW YEAR'S EVE!
First Night Monterey hosted a virtual First Night as we rang in 2021! We teamed up with other First Night organizations to bring you a unique New Year's Eve celebration, which you can still view if you missed it!
