Paralian – someone who lives by the sea.
Carla Massoni, the owner of MassoniArt Gallery, is pleased to announce the opening of Marc Castelli’s one-man exhibition – Paralian. For over thirty years, Castelli’s annual show has become a Chesapeake tradition. Expect to see unmatched renderings of watermen, workboats, and log canoes from a painter recognized as one of the finest marine artists in the country.
This year’s exhibition dates coincide with the Chestertown RiverArts Studio Tour OCTOBER 22-23 & 29-30 10am-5pm and the Sultana Education Foundation’s Downrigging Festival.
From the very beginning, Castelli’s annual show has been synonymous with the Downrigging. Now in its 22nd year, the festival is one of the largest annual tall ship gatherings in North America. The festival features a long-weekend of Tall Ship sails, tours, incredible live bluegrass music, lectures, exhibits, family activities, regional food and more. www.downrigging.org
