The 17th National Exhibition of the American Society of Marine Artists is coming to Maryland’s Eastern Shore, with the exhibition jointly hosted at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in the Town of St. Michaels, Maryland and the Academy Art Museum in Easton. The exhibition opens to the public at both venues on December 10, 2016, and continues through March 31, 2017, with private donor preview receptions scheduled for December 8 at CBMM and December 9 at AAM.

Contemporary American Marine Art highlights the works of marine artists recognized as the best in contemporary marine art by ASMA’s juried competition, and includes more than 120 works of painting, sculpture, and scrimshaw from the nation’s leading marine artists, including Susie Anderson, Sheri Farabaugh, and Russ Kramer. The works were juried from more than 500 paintings and sculpture submitted for consideration, and represent a wide variety of subject matter, medium, technique, and inspired vision.
