Clearwater Marine Aquarium presents ArtSEA Conservation, an art exhibit featuring international, national, and community artists to show the connection between art and marine conservation. CMA has partnered with artists and organizations that are aligned with the CMA mission and deeply committed to conservation.

The aquarium’s fourth floor is transformed into an art gallery where illuminated marine animal paintings, sculptures and aquariums with art are on display along with videos featuring Clearwater Marine Aquarium Research Institute’s fieldwork.

Project Holocene:

The Project Holocene exhibit features illuminated paintings by international artist Russel Ronat, which highlight wild animal conservation. Among the marine mammals that can be seen in the exhibition are manatees, right whales, dolphins, sea turtles, and sea otters.

Washed Ashore:

As part of the Washed Ashore exhibit at the CMA, thousands of discarded waste pieces, bottles, shoes, lighters, and other pollutants found in the ocean are used to create marine life sculptures. In creating art from trash, the sculptures bring attention to the problem of ocean pollution
