Debbi Dean, Damiana Colley, & Kaya Colley: "Threads of Connection: A Mother-Daughter Tapestry"- This exhibit invites you to explore the intertwined stories of mothers and daughters, reflecting on the delicate strands of life woven through shared experiences, emotions, and nature. Each piece serves as a visual diary, capturing our journeys, fears, and loves.
- Inspired by the beauty of the natural world, we draw parallels between its cycles and our own transformations. The vibrant hues symbolize joy, while the muted tones evoke nostalgia. Together, our creations celebrate the resilience found in shared storytelling.
- As we collaborate in this sacred space, we discover healing through our vulnerabilities and triumphs, crafting a tapestry that transcends individual experiences to highlight the universal bond of motherhood. We invite you to recognize the beauty in our relationships, and to find reflections of your own journey within our work. Welcome to a celebration of life, love, and connection.

"Different Imagination", graphite and ink drawings by Elizabeth Grey- “I'll try to take any blank piece of paper and turn it into a piece that can help viewers escape from the world we live in by using my emotions to express an imaginary world as an alternate reality.”

Shirley Hall Youth Art Show 2025
March 7 @ 5:00 pm - 5:00 pm
For over 30 years, the Art League of Ocean City has featured artwork by Worcester County middle and high school students for an annual youth art show. Cash prizes awarded! Celebrate “National Student Art Month” and support these talented young artists. Exhibit Dates: opening reception Friday March 7, 5-7pm. Exhibit continues Saturday 11-4pm and Sunday 11-2pm.
Originally sponsored by the Women’s Club of Ocean City, this annual youth art show was coordinated by Shirley Hall who was an active member of the OC Women’s Club and former Art League president. When the OC Women’s Club disbanded, the Art League continued to coordinate the yearly youth show as it was central to the organization’s mission. When Shirley passed away in 2006, the Art League renamed the show in her honor. The show will be judged by Shirley’s daughter Betsy Hall Harrison, who will award cash prizes on behalf of her family members.
