Art of the Industry: Oyster Cans of the Mid-Atlantic
Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art 909 Schumaker Drive, Salisbury, Maryland 21804
Bold, bright colors, fanciful images, clever brand names, and strong graphic design dominate the look of historical oyster cans. Reflecting an aspect of competition in the industry, the art of oyster cans demonstrates the creativity and that can come from economic stresses and cultural references. This exhibit in the Ward Museum’s Welcome Gallery will feature a variety of these unconventional art pieces from around the region and country.
