Monterey Summer Art Day Camp Registration
First Night Monterey's Summer Art Day Camps are designed to develop positive, creative thinking for children, using arts as a catalyst! Our goal is to nurture creativity and enhance art skills in a non-competitive, safe, fun environment. No prior experience or talent is needed! We will have fun outdoor activities, play-time and one field trip. Each Friday we will have a performance or gallery exhibit of the work completed during the camp week. Day Camps are Monday through Friday, 9:30 am to 4:00 pm. Optional extended day supervision is available for a modest fee. Read more about Summer Art Camp and sign up NOW - only a few openings remain!
Callng All Volunteers! Summer Opportunities

Whatever your interests, there will be something fun to fit you and help First Night fulfill its mission. Car buffs will want to staff the Retro Auto tent at the Concours d'Elegance where they can get free admission; or join the community helping at the July 4th Parade and Lawn Party listed above; or indulge your creative side at the SeaChanges workshops bringing together youth and the community to explore water, watersheds, oceans and the way that we recycle and discard materials into rivers, lakes and oceans.

FNM Announces Greenfield Art Camps & Festival
This year in Greenfield, young people from Greenfield middle and high schools will transform ordinary discarded objects into works of art and learn first-hand how our daily habits affect our ocean habitiats as part of First Night's ArtWorks! outreach. These FREE summer art camps will focus on painting, drawing, murals and digital art. The camp artwork and large scale sculptures created from recycled objects will be exhibited at the Greenfield Harvest Festival, produced by FNM ArtWorks! and at First Night Monterey 2014.
Read more about the free Greenfield Art Workshops and the Greenfield Havest Festival in this article from the South County Newspapers. Find out more about the Greenfield Harvest Festival. Read more about the Greenfield Summer Art Camps, and register.
