On view are new works created by seven members of the American Society of Marine Artists, the leading organization of professional artists focused on this genre: David Bareford, Laura Cooper, Shane Couch, Don Demers, Russ Kramer, Richard Loud, and Patrick O’Brien. The show has been co-curated by the society’s president, Patrick O’Brien, with gallery founder Ronald J. Cavalier.

They scheduled the show to highlight America’s 250th anniversary, which will be marked unforgettably on July 4, when 50 tall ships from around the world cruise into New York Harbor as part of the America250 Parade of Sail. This also happens to be Cavalier’s 40th anniversary—another reason to celebrate.
