The Annual Chesapeake Poster
The story of the poster:
Three years before the Millennium, a series of annual limited edition posters, signed by Nancy Hammond, would lead into the new century.
Starting with a low price so everyone could afford one, and as they became less available, the price would rise, (the usual case with limited-editions.)
The first poster in 1997, a Chesapeake Noah's Ark, was appreciated and sold out by Christmas. It was a quiet beginning.
We continued to release a poster every year. When the Millennial year 2000 poster was released, lines started forming the day before and all through the night.
The 2017 Annual Chesapeake signed and numbered limited edition poster will be $75 the day of the release on October 22nd. Person to person sales at the gallery only Saturday October 22nd.
The price will increase the next day, Sunday October 23rd, starting at $200 and will increase as the editions sells. Phone and internet orders will be taken beginning Sunday October 23rd.
The poster will first be exhibited on our website one week before opening day, And at Quiet Waters Arts Festival Annapolis (for viewing only) and in the newspapers.
Hope to see you this year!
