What The Sea Carries
Poetic Tiger Gallery X Carnival Opera Gallery Present: What The Sea Carries
An online exhibition devoted to the sea and everything it holds. The ocean has inspired artists for centuries with its beauty, its danger, and its endless mystery. We’re looking for work that captures that pull: mermaids and sirens, whales and octopuses, sailing ships and lonely lighthouses, crashing waves and quiet shores, and the strange creatures of the deep. Whether your vision is dreamy, dark, whimsical, or serene, we want to see it. All mediums welcome. Show us what the sea carries to you.
