With more than a hundred paintings by nationally and internationally known artists, the American Society of Marine Artists will be exhibiting from June 13 through August 17 at the Quinlan Visual Arts Center in Gainesville. “The show has been two years in the making,” said Anne Brodie Hill, who is chairing the exhibit. “We are so excited to bring these artists and their work to Gainesville and Lake Lanier.”

“Cruising Southern Waters” will be the first regional ASMA exhibition ever hosted in Georgia. The show will feature original oils, watercolors, acrylics, bronzes and more. Sponsorships are available at a variety of levels and include presence in the exhibition catalog and invitations to the opening night reception at the Quinlan.
