Welcome to the featured artist section of the GMC website. At regular intervals through the year the GMC will feature artists whose work relates to maritime issues.
Art can be a powerful way of communicating. It tells a story that words alone cannot. One of the aims of the GMC is to help people 'see the sea' - to see and appreciate its multiple personalities and uses. Art can inspire, provoke, move and excite. Through the GMS's Featured Artist initiative, and exhibitions we hold, we hope to connect people with our oceans and seas.
Our current Featured Artist is Simon Read and our previous artists can be found on the menu on your right or by clicking here.
