What's shimmery and salty and oh so sacred???

Celebrate what you love about the ocean as we raise awareness for our vital marine resource.

Your task:

Come to Mother's Beach for a poster creation party! Create a poster that celebrates our oceans while raising awareness for ocean care & stewardship.

We'll supply everything you need -- just bring your creativity! Your poster will adorn our new community space on Catalina Island. We'll also feature it on our socials and in our digital gallery. (Yup, you're totally famous!)

Please register using the DONATIONS & TICKETS button above.

You have a lot of freedom here. Your poster should have a positive message and answer the question: What's great about the ocean and how can we protect it?

For example, did you know that roughly half of the oxygen we breathe comes from the ocean? What??? Half?! You might choose to use that fact to help design a poster with pictures and a few words. Or maybe you love sea creatures and have a few favorites? Are there some things we humans can do to help those salty sillies thrive?

Think about the message you want to share, then come out with us and let your imagination run wild. You can draw, collage, write, paint, color, stamp, glue, cut ... use whatever methods you want to make your poster! We'll share your beautiful creation far and wide on our social media and in our digital gallery on our website.
