MMA First Friday—Monterey Biennial

June 6, 2025 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Enjoy an evening at MMA filled with live music by Kito Rayburn, local food and beverages, and interactive art activities for all ages. This special Biennial-themed First Friday will bring the exhibition to life with hands-on experiences tied to the artwork on view. The Museum welcomes you, friends, and family for an evening to enjoy the talent of Central California. First Friday Activity Inspired by the Biennial’s theme, Resonance and Reflection, cut, place, and trace your way through memory. In this calming, hands-on activity, you’ll create abstract shapes from reflective paper—each one a fragment of your story. As you outline the shapes over and over, their lines begin to intersect, revealing how our moments connect and shape who we are. A quiet practice in reflection, connection, and self-discovery.
