San Diego Maritime Museum: "Art of the Sea" and "Sea and Shore"

Maritime Museum of San Diego is proud to announce the opening of two new exhibits for maritime and art enthusiasts Saturday, February 23, 2019 to run through September 30, 2019.

Arthur Beaumont’s “Art of the Sea,” curated by The Irvine Museum Collection at the University of California, Irvine, will be open in the Gould Eddy gallery, located on the lower deck of the BERKELEY. Beaumont’s body of work encompasses numerous portraits of specific naval vessels, including mighty aircraft carriers and battleships as well as personal yachts of presidents and celebrities. His art portrays not only admirals but also common sailors and soldiers. 

Open concurrently with the Beaumont art exhibit, the museum is proud to introduce “Sea and Shore” on display in the Compass Gallery located on the main level of the BERKELEY. This art exhibit features submissions from members of the Plein Air Painters Association of San Diego (PAPASAN). The PAPASAN artists have been on the plein air scene since 1999, painting the essence of San Diego, whose very identity is uniquely defined by the sea. 

The new exhibitions will be included with general admission ticket purchase.
