One Gallery -Two Shows: Estuary and Marsh and Aquarius 2025 Exhibits Closing Day

Art Center Morro Bay Proudly presents One Gallery--Two Shows: Estuary and Marsh and Aquarius 2025 with Featured Artist Richard Rowe February 20 – March 31, 2025 The Estuary and Marsh exhibit celebrates the Morro Bay National Estuary Program’s 30th anniversary. Artists living along the coast are invited to explore the rich, dynamic theme of “Estuary and Marsh.” These vital ecosystems, where land meets water, teem with life, contrast, and transformation. This theme encourages artists to capture the delicate balance between the stillness and movement, resilience and fragility found in these landscapes. Whether focusing on the intricate wildlife, the ever-shifting light, or the interplay between human presence and nature, artists are challenged to reflect the unique beauty, moods, and rhythms of estuaries and marshlands—spaces that are both tranquil and full of life. The Aquarius 2025 California Exhibition is a premiere juried show presented by Central Coast Watercolor Society. The exhibit runs Feb. 20 – Mar. 31 at Art Center Morro Bay. This annual exhibition features excellence in water media painting, from traditional to experimental, and encourages appreciation for water media painting as a vital, enduring, and expressive art form.
