Become a Founding Sponsor for an exciting community event to be held at SpectorDance on Sunday, April 14, 2019; the first annual Monterey Ocean Arts Festival (MOAF). Our mission is to raise our shared voices for the future of our ocean and our planet through the arts. |

MOAF welcomes young artists, ages 21 & under, in all genres to apply to present original ocean-themed works of visual art, dance, music, theater, or spoken word. Through this festival, we will utilize power of creativity to heighten awareness of ocean issues and to inspire ocean stewardship.
We are now seeking sponsorships from local businesses and individuals to raise $15,000 for the event, which will enable us to offer the event FREE of charge to all attendees!

I deeply admire SD's forward-looking vision. I applaud the many dance-education programs in the area, but none of them makes so clear the connection between dance and the social issues with which we all confront on a daily basis. SD's embrace of gang violence and oceanic degradation, both of which profoundly afflict life in Monterey County, has revealed essential current truths that other area arts have as of yet to take notice. I cheer SpectorDance more for making those issues a much bigger part of daily life in our community, for representing the urgency these issues demand, not only to artists but to the rest of us who have no end of ways to look the other way.
SD makes its educational vision a matter of immediacy--hence action--that all other local arts institutions should embrace. I can think of no other arts program that is more deserving of widespread community support.
