We've got the science
of the sea down, but we need your help with the art. Mote Marine
Laboratory is now accepting entry applications for art representing
Mote's 55 years of preserving our world's marine environment and
advancing marine science for entry in a week-long exhibition on March
11-19, 2010.
Selected artworks will be shown in the Mote Marine
Laboratory and Aquarium 55th Anniversary Celebration Juried Art
Exhibition, part of a year-long celebration of Mote's 55th Anniversary.
The display will greet guests in Mote Aquarium, which attracts 300,000 visitors each year.
The
exhibition will include opening and closing receptions and a silent
auction. All sales of artwork will benefit the programs and projects of
Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium.
We encourage artists to draw
inspiration from visiting Mote Aquarium and from the pictures and
stories on www.mote.org. Catch a glimmering snook on canvas, sketch a
darting dolphin, get colorful with corals — explore the sea of
possibilities.
