By The Sea

How fortunate to live by the sea. Pick your favorite spot and paint the shore, the sand dunes, the tidepools, or whatever meets your fancy.

Artists are invited to immerse themselves in the theme “By the Sea,” drawing inspiration from the ocean’s vast beauty, mystery, and power. This theme offers a canvas to explore the sea’s many faces—from tranquil shorelines and sunlit horizons to tumultuous waves and the unknown depths below. Artists can capture the sea’s connection to nature, memory, emotion, or mythology, interpreting its influence on human life and imagination. Through this theme, artists are encouraged to reflect on the ocean as both a source of calm and chaos, inviting viewers into its ever-changing world.

Pressing Forward

With more than 30 diverse, active members, the Central Coast Printmakers’ mission is to maintain the tradition of making original art prints by designing plates (or “substrates” from which a print is made) by hand. The group has been encouraging making, enjoying and learning about printmaking for more than 40 years in SLO County. Processes include etchings, engravings, lino & woodcuts, silkscreens, lithographs, monoprints and more.

Main Gallery: Everyday Common Things – MBAA Members Exhibition

Artist: Glynis Tinglof

MBAA members only (limited to one original 2D artwork piece no larger than 30” wide). Artists are invited to find beauty and meaning in the “Everyday Common Things,” celebrating the often overlooked objects and moments of daily life. This theme challenges artists to transform the mundane—simple objects, routines, or familiar scenes—into works of art that reveal their hidden significance or charm. By capturing the essence of the ordinary, artists can invite viewers to see the world around them in new and unexpected ways, finding inspiration and creativity in the simplicity of everyday life.
