Art for "Manchester, The Revolution,
and The War at Sea" Exhibit
As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of American Independence, we ask the question: what does the Revolution mean to you? On a community level, the Manchester-by-the-Sea Museum seeks to address this question through contemporary art. Artists are invited to submit works for the 2026 reinvigoration of our exhibit "Manchester, The Revolution, and The War at Sea." Read more here
