From February 18 – March 16, 2025, the Annapolis Watercolor Club was proud to exhibit at the Annapolis Maritime Museum. Entitled "50 Years on the Chesapeake" the exhibit showcased a diverse collection of watercolor works inspired by the region’s rich maritime heritage. This exhibit brought together member artists whose paintings reflected the beauty, history, and working waterfronts of Annapolis. Displayed in a setting deeply connected to the Chesapeake Bay, the exhibit offered visitors a meaningful connection between watercolor art and the maritime traditions that define the area.
