Exhibit and Reception
Come enjoy a glass of wine and an evening of fine art, at our public exhibit of Pearl paintings! Paintings will be for sale, with the proceeds being split between the artists, Chesapeake Bay String of Pearls Project, and the Eastern Shore Land Conservancy. We will also hold the drawing for our Scavenger Hunt winner.
2014
At least once a year we hold a ceremony to honor Pearl creators in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. Future ceremonies will honor those who protect lands elsewhere in the State of Maryland, and in the other jurisdictions in the Chesapeake Bay watershed: Virginia, the District of Columbia, West Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New York.
