Join us for the Opening Reception of Beyond the Plate: Sea and Sky, a striking new exhibition presented by Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum, featuring the imaginative work of contemporary artist Rob Strati.

Meet the artist and be among the first to experience a powerful collection of mixed-media pieces and limited-edition prints that chart stories of transformation, memory, and resilience. Strati’s art begins with broken porcelain plates and evolves into imagined worlds—where past and present blur, and beauty is found in what remains.

Enjoy an evening of creativity and conversation in the heart of the museum. Light refreshments will be served, and a portion of artwork sales will benefit Ships of the Sea.
