Members are invited to get a first look at our new exhibition, In American Waters: The Sea in American Painting. In this exhibition, visitors will be transported across time and water on the wave of a diverse range of modern and historical artists, discover the sea as an expansive way to reflect on American culture and environment, and question what it means to be “in American waters.” Reserve a ticket for this special preview today and be first to experience the journey.

Free for members, registration required.
