The Sea Glass & Ocean Art Festival is scheduled for November 6th & 7th, 2010 in the Coconut Grove at "the Boardwalk" in Santa Cruz, CA. Last year's event was a HUGE success - over 2400 people came and enjoyed the weekend - we needed a bigger venue - so Coconut Grove is it! Thank you to the great sea glass artists and fans that helped to support and raise over $10,000 in revenue for the Seymour Center. Let's make this year an even bigger success - 10% of admission fees will be donated directly to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary to help build the new Sanctuary Exploration Center! BIG Thanks to NANCY WALKER (Nightfish photography) for the amazing 2010 poster and festival photos!

The event features sea glass and ocean related artists that all share a passion for the Ocean and the protection and conservation of our beaches and oceans. This is the first event of it's kind; and was founded by Krista Hammond, owner of Santa Cruz Sea Glass. Krista wanted to share her passion for natural sea glass jewelry and her dedication to the preservation of the ocean and beaches in the Monterey Bay Sanctuary, so she decided a Festival that celebrates the beauty of Ocean Art, or so called "Sanctuary Art" while donating a % of application fees directly back into protecting the Monterey Bay Sanctuary. Donations will be made to National Marine Sanctuary Foundation to help fund the new Santa Cruz Exploration Center - coming 2011! This event is being marketed as a "green" event and will be advertised throughout the Monterey and Bay Area. Additional artists and individual donations are encouraged and appreciated.
