Welcome to the Ward Museum
The Ward Museum is excited about the upcoming changing exhibits. The LaMay Gallery is host to Through Artist Eyes: The Eastern Shore Revealed. Artists from across the Eastern Shore exhibit works that explore the area's natural and working landscapes, rich urban and rural lifeways, and the beauty of everyday living in this special region. Works of from a variety of media, including painting, photography, wood, stone and metal, will reveal the artistic vision and talents of those making art reflective of the Eastern Shore.
In the Welcome Gallery we have, 50 Years of Art, Nature, & Tradition: Ward Foundation Retrospective. This exhibit is a celebration of the Ward Foundations 50th Anniversary. Established in 1968 to honor the legacy of Lem and Steve Ward, the foundation has grown to be a leader in the arts and cultural community of Maryland and beyond.
