Everybody’s Ocean works just like our relationship to the ocean: it constantly evolves. That means this exhibition will feature art by you. All kinds of art by you. So much art that we’ll have to move it through the gallery in waves. This exhibition is part crowd-sourced, part curated presenting your personal relationship with the sea.

You’re invited to submit work that depicts the ocean or represents whatever it means to you. This exhibition will explore our relationship with the sea. There will be a diverse set of work by local artists, regional artists, and you.

Your work will slowly move in waves across the gallery and out, making space for new submissions during the course of the show. Curated anchor pieces will remain for the duration of the exhibition with submitted work flowing past and around.

The ocean represents anything from womb to tomb. We personify it as a wrathful god, a seductive spirit, or an indomitable force. The four oceans of the world cover 71% of the Earth’s surface and link us to primordial pasts. The ocean is a living, shared space and one of the greatest unexplored mysteries of the world.  Everybody interprets the ocean in different ways. Your work has unique inspiration. Let’s share it with each other
