Visit the Beach Museum of Art to enjoy a refreshing dose of Salt Air. The exciting, sea-centric exhibition is being installed now and opens March 15, 2022, in the Vanier Gallery. The artworks, curated from the museum’s permanent collection, were chosen for their depictions of the ocean. See the sky reflecting off the water. Witness a wave descending upon the sand. Experience these and many other unique visions of the sea.

Organized in conjunction with the American Libraries Association 2022 summer reading theme “Oceans of Possibility,” the exhibition will set the scene for the museum’s weekly summer art programs, tours and gallery activities.
