Team coverage of Tall Ships Tacoma 2008.

Fans of maritime art will have a chance to get excited about Tall Ships well before the Parade of sail.

The South Sound Maritime Juried Art Exhibit, with 100 paintings and 20 sculptures, will run from June 16 through July 18 at the Bronze Works Studio at 2506 S. Fawcett Ave. You'll be welcome to drop in from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays throughout the show.

Look for works by members of Pacific Gallery Artists and the Rainier League of Arts. Maritime artist Marshall Johnson and Bronze Works Studio owner Kevin Keating will juror the pieces.

If you're not familiar with the Bronze Works Studio, it offers some of the coolest drive-by art you're likely to see. It casts, among other things, major pieces of public art for cities across the country, then sets them outside the studio. One day you may see a larger-than-life settler busting sod, and the next you might get a look at his mighty ox, or a pack of wolves or other impressive wildlife. The studio participates in Tacoma's Art Walks, and, of course, you can always stop in and thank them for the movable show.
