40th Annual Seawall Art Show
The 2010 show will feature art 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 will be food, entertainment, and plenty of parking. Programs with artists info will be given out at the show.
Artists vie for some $9,000 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.
