MBAA Members are invited to join us for an exhibit celebrating the Morro Bay National Estuary Program’s 30th anniversary.
Dive into the Central Coast’s enchanting world of ‘Estuary and Marsh.’ Our lively landscapes, where land and water meet, are bursting with contrasts and transformations. Picture the quiet calm paired with flowing movement, the strength within delicate beauty, and the endless rhythm of life. Whether it’s the quirky wildlife, the ever-changing light, or the story of humans and nature coexisting, this theme invites you to capture it all. Explore the ecological, cultural, and aesthetic significance of our wetlands. Interpret this theme through your unique artistic vision.
Please note: This is a MBAA member only exhibit. Due to limited space in the main gallery, we are able to take in up to two original wall hung artworks max 24″ including frame or one 2D wall artwork 30″ max width including frame, along with up to 10 note cards, 4 matted prints, and / or 3 small 3D pieces. All art must be original art by the artist. Wall-hung art must have wire on back for hanging. Click here to download submission forms and wire tags.
