With more than 30 years experience showcasing juried fine arts and fine crafts on the Portsmouth waterfront, the Seawall Art Show draws large crowds of art buyers to this prestigious event.  With the assistance of the Portsmouth Museum and Fine Arts Commission, it is an all volunteer run show.  Show proceeds always go to support the arts in Portsmouth.

The 2008 show features work by more than 90 artists working in media such as oils, pastels, watercolor, acrylics, pen and ink, pencil, fiber, fine jewelry, fun jewelry, blown glass, lampwork glass, stained glass, pottery, photography, and metal. Admission is free; there is food, entertainment, and plenty of parking.  Programs with artists info will be given out at the show.

Artists vie for some $7,000 in awards for their work, plus thousands in show purchase guarantees  -- buyers can purchase these as a part of their support for the museum. There is also a student art show on the site, with awards.

Special thanks is due to the Virginia Commission for the Arts, the City of Portsmouth, the Portsmouth Museums Foundation, and the hard working volunteers who always make this show such a fine success.  Chair of the Committee is Martha Frances Fortson, Executive Director, Portsmouth Museums Foundation.
