The exhibition of fifty paintings by some of California’s greatest artists was a celebration of over one hundred years of California coastal painting and a colorful record of the development of coastal living on the West Coast. It is an artful primer of painting styles from California’s first century and a chronicle of our love affair with the sea.

Artists in the show included Franz Bischoff, Louis Betts, Rex Brandt, Frank Cuprien, Phil Dike, Emil Kosa Jr., Roger Kuntz, Edgar Payne, William Ritschel, Granville Redmond, Arthur Rozaire, Donna Schuster, George Gardner Symons, Marion Kavanaugh Wachtel and William Wendt.
