Project Description

“With support from the California Arts Council, FIRST NIGHT MONTEREY INC as the Greenfield Cultural Arts Center will bring visual arts education to all 3rd and 6th graders in the Greenfield School District who currently do not have any arts programming.

Organization Summary

Our community spirit is best exemplified by First Night ArtWorks!, our year-round arts outreach program culminating on New Year’s Eve. We’ve engage thousands of young people and families who participated with professional artists in hands-on creative workshops in the visual, performing and multimedia arts at community sites around Monterey County.These workshops encourage an active involvement in and love of the arts. Young people and their families participate in hands-on workshops conducted by artists/educators in the months leading up to First Night. Often, these workshops offer important enrichment programs for community organizations with whom we partner to offer the workshops. The creative workshops culminate in exhibits and/or performances that become part of the First Night Celebration and are exhibited in other public venues throughout the region. In late 2014, FNM launched the Greenfield Cultural Arts Center, located in the heart of the migrant farming community.
