Deadline: September 11
Join all your favorite artists from the Mid-Atlantic area and beyond, at Chesapeake Bay Art Association's 51st Annual Ocean View Art Show. 75-100 artists are expected to present their work on the grassy lawns of Ocean View Beach Park. Be sure to join them this year!
- Over $2,000 in cash Awards, Special Awards, and Purchase Awards
- The park borders the beautiful Chesapeake Bay where locals will be enjoying the beach, the many sailboats cruising the bay, and fishermen plying their craft in the waters--all just feet away from the tents and displays of the Art Show Artists.
Good to know:- The Ocean View Art Show is run entirely by artists. The members pride themselves on being open and welcoming to everyone that participates and attends.
- The artists tents on the grassy lawns, next to a paved path.
- Spaces are described as 10x10 with "walk around room", usually with nothing but open grass behind the artist.
- Music is provided all day from the pavilion, across the lawn from the artists tents. A wide variety of music brings out many families to enjoy both the fine art and top entertainment.
Ocean View Beach Park is located at 100 W. Ocean View Ave., in Norfolk, VA. People who havebeen in the area for many years will remember this location as site of the Rollercoaster-featured in movies.
Setup begins on Friday at 4pm, with the chance
to drive up to your spot. Saturday setup continues at 7:30am, with teardown and load out Sunday at 5pm. The curb lane of Ocean View Avenue will be blocked for loading and unloading. Security will be provided on Saturday night.Our Mission:
Chesapeake Bay Art Association (CBAA) was formed in 1961 by a group of artists living in Norfolk's Ocean View area. Their first big show came just a year later. One of CBAA's charter members, John B. Tenney, donated an artwork to be raffled off at that first show. The proceeds from the raffle went to an Art Scholarship Fund. That tradition continues today, as the John B. Tenney Memorial Art Scholarship. Proceeds from the Ocean View Art Show, and from other CBAA activities, are given to high school art students in May each year, at the Spring Indoor Art Show.
The Ocean View Art Show is the only local show donating the proceeds directly back into the art world, encouraging a new generation of artists every year. The Show also welcomes students to display their work, with over 30 local students participating in a group tent for the 2013 show.
