This will be an open show. Anyone can submit art to this show.  Paintings will be accepted at OSA on the morning of May 5, 10 am to noon. Each artist may submit up to 3 works of art. OMM will select paintings for display aboard the Portland Steamship and OSA will select paintings for display at OSA. There will be two receptions for this joint show.
