Poster Competition
The Chesapeake Chamber Music Poster Competition invited local artists to submit images that suggested the beauty of the Eastern Shore as a setting for the beauty of music. All images were required to be original, one-of-a-kind pieces of art, created by the hand of the artist. Click here for the rules.
The winner of this year’s Competition is Karen Mathis’ “Sunset Sail”. Mathis’ image will be used to promote the 2012 Chesapeake Chamber Music Festival, and the original painting will be auctioned at the 2012 Gala on March 3, 2012.
