SpectorDance is hosting an exciting new event for the Monterey Bay region:
Monterey Ocean Arts Festival (MOAF)
April 14, 2019
2:00-4:00pm
SpectorDance, 3343 Paul Davis Drive, Marina

The mission of the MOAF is to raise our shared voices for the future of our ocean and our planet. SpectorDance is putting this mission into action with Ocean Trilogy , a multimedia production about the challenges facing our ocean and hopeful possibilities from ocean science research. MOAF will bring the community together to celebrate ocean health. It will galvanize young artists, scientists and community members to use their voices for the future of our ocean and our environment.

~  Call For Young Artists ~

SpectorDance invites young artists, 21 & under, in all genres to apply to MOAF to join with us to utilize the power of creativity to heighten awareness of ocean issues & to inspire ocean stewardship. Please submit original ocean-themed works of visual art, dance, music, theater, or
spoken word to be presented at MOAF.
 SpectorDance believes in the power of art to promote understanding of ocean science.  We are putting this conviction into action through our multimedia production Ocean Trilogy, a collaboration with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI). To take this idea to the next level, reach new audiences, and build momentum for our upcoming performance of Ocean Trilogy at the Sunset Center on April 25th, we will produce MOAF at our venue in Marina. For the first year in 2019, we will focus on young artists 21 and under. Performers will present works of music, dance, and poetry celebrating and exploring threats to the ocean, visual artists will display art, and ocean scientists will give presentations on cutting-edge ocean science.
