Description

The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Md., is now accepting submissions from all community members for its upcoming exhibition, The Changing Chesapeake.
Although steeped in traditional culture, the Chesapeake long has been a place of change and evolution, and its history driven by response to that change.

Consider these questions as you create your artwork:
How is climate change and/or the impact of humans on the environment shaping your Chesapeake community?
How has the way you identify with and are inspired by the Chesapeake evolved?
What would you want someone 100 years from now to know about your life and community traditions in the Chesapeake today?
What is your vision for the future of life in the Chesapeake region?

This is an open call for inclusion in an exhibition centered on community response to changes in the Chesapeake Bay region. Submissions should be reflective of the Chesapeake Bay region. Artists may be of any age, with no residency requirements. There is no cost to participate. All artwork must be submitted virtually for review. Artists will be notified if their work is selected, with further instruction about how to deliver artwork to CBMM.
