The Ocean Arts Festival is a family-friendly event that brings together science and art to engage youth in ocean science and raise climate change awareness. The festival features ocean-themed visual and performing art created by Monterey County artists, ages 10-24 years old, and outstanding science organizations.
The Ocean Arts Festival employs the power of creativity to inspire the next generation of ocean stewards.
