Art of Surfing Festival

presented by Surfing Artists International

Sagemore Surf Gallery and Surfing Artists International presents it’s 8th annual “Art of Surfing Festival”, which has quickly become the premiere east coast surfing event of the summer. The festival is an expression of the local surfing culture and it’s influences from Hawaii and California. This show is for anyone that is drawn to the ocean and enjoys the beach culture lifestyle.

In 2001 we had our first ever annual "Art of Surfing Festival". The first festival packed the gallery and spilled out onto the sidewalk. The "ASF" featured art, music, film, and literature from surfers all over the USA. The annual show has quickly become the most successful and well attended event Sagemore has ever had. After 2 years it grew to the point that it could no longer be held at the gallery, so it was decided to move the event to the 4,500 plus square foot Music Pier. The Music Pier is located on the Ocean City boardwalk & extends out over the beach & ocean. Every August over 6,000 families converge on the Music Pier to take part in what has become the largest event of its kind on the East Coast.

The 3 day event (July 31st – August 2nd) will feature a surf art exhibit, live music, surf movies, painting demonstrations, surf memorabilia and much more. Artists will be on hand throughout the show to meet the public and answer questions.

Many of SAI’s internationally acclaimed artists will be on hand to meet the public for signings & demonstrations of their unique talents. Artists attending the show include BOGY, Kim Weiland, Jon Baker, Jamie Kelly, Wade Koniakowsky, Norm Daniels, Rick Romano, Spencer Reynolds, Steven Valiere and many more
