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.

Please note: This is a MBAA member only exhibit. Due to limited space in the main gallery, we are able to take in one original wall hung artwork max 30″ including frame, along with up to 10 cards, 4 portfolio pieces, 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.
