Wyland to Design 28th Annual Hampton Bay Days Poster

Hampton Bay Days is happy to announce that world-renowned painter, sculptor, photographer, writer, SCUBA diver, and marine life conservationist, Wyland will design the 28th annual Hampton Bay Days commemorative poster. This year's festival will take place September 10-12, 2010.

"Hampton Bays Days is extremely excited that Wyland has agreed to design the 28th annual poster," said Shelly Ezanno, Hampton Bay Days Executive Director. "The mission of Hampton Bay Days is to promote conservation of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. It is truly an honor to have Wyland design and create a work of art that commemorates the 28th Annual Conservation Celebration this year."

"Hampton Bay Days is about people coming together to celebrate the wonder of nature in a positive, caring way. I can't think of a better place to be!" said Wyland. With the belief that one person can indeed make a difference, the Wyland Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1993 by environmental marine life artist Wyland, is dedicated to promoting, protecting, and preserving the world's oceans, waterways, and marine life. The foundation encourages environmental awareness through education programs, life-size public arts projects, and community events.

In addition to his work as an artist and photographer, he is also known for his interactive Wyland Mobile Center which helps to inform children on how pollution affects our water. Through a series of small activities, visitors of the center can spin the wheel of (mis)fortune to discover the food web, bring rain down over a polluted city to see the impact on a watershed, divert a flowing river to learn about water management, use a computer model to see changes in a lake region over 200 years, and transform a raindrop in the 30-person on-board theater.
