The Weston Collective
The 2025 Weston Collective Scholarship Exhibition and Awards Ceremony, held at the National Steinbeck Center in Salinas, was a vibrant celebration of youth creativity and photographic excellence from across the Central Coast. Featuring a stunning range of work from elementary through college-level students, the exhibition brought together emerging talents from Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito Counties for an evening of art, recognition, and inspiration.
We are thrilled to announce the success of our recent fundraising drive, Monterey County Gives!, where we raised over $10,000 to support youth photography programs. This incredible achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity and enthusiasm of our fantastic community of supporters.
We had a blast celebrating history, photography, and good company on Wildcat Hill for this year’s New Bohemian Nights Fundraising event benefiting the Weston Collective. We raised over $16,000 to support our photography programs, which will allow us to continue bringing students the best in photographic technology and instruction.
