In the 1980s and 90s, renowned artist Neil Harpe traveled around the Bay photographing Chesapeake scenes that inspired his artwork. These stunning, never-before-published photographs portray a bygone era: graceful skipjacks and their captains, the Bay’s unique lighthouses and marshes, Baltimore’s vibrant waterfront, and fishing ports of Tilghman Island, Deal Island, Crisfield, and Annapolis. Harpe will reflect on the photographs and his adventures, which were recently published in "Pictured in Time: An Artist's Journey Around the Chesapeake."
This event is generously sponsored by the Upper Shore Regional Folklife Center.
The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s Speaker Series brings discussion about Chesapeake-related topics to the Van Lennep Auditorium. Events vary, but often include talks by industry experts, discussions with community members, performances by local artists, and screenings of relevant films. Regardless of the topic, each program will leave you with a greater appreciation for the people and environment of the Chesapeake Bay.
CBMM’s speaker events are offered in a hybrid format with options for both in-person and virtual tickets. The link to view the program virtually will be provided to all registrants before the program.
