The Spy discovered that there is surely more to Tilghman Island than meets the eye…no pun intended. We decided to stop by the Dorchester Center for the Arts on Saturday evening, March 10 to check out the opening reception for a group of Tilghman Island artists. What a nice surprise! More than 150 visitors enjoyed live music and refreshments as they viewed impressive works in oils, watercolor, photography, fiber art, jewelry and other mediums.

Up to 25 artists participated in the exhibit, each showing how they have been creatively inspired by the island’s magic. There were works of whimsy, portraits, boats, wildlife and waterfowl, landscapes and other scenes that reflect Tilghman’s rich history and culture. The exhibit also featured some of the island’s aspiring young artists from the Tilghman After School Kids (TASK) program. It became clear that Tilghman Island is not only a beautiful tourist destination but home to some remarkable, sometimes hidden, “island talent”.
This event was hosted by the Tilghman Watermen’s Museum.
