New Underwater Museum of Art Deployment Planned for July 13

-

The folks at the Underwater Museum of Art off the coast of Florida will be attempting to livestream their fifth deployment later this week.

Weather and wifi permitting, you’ll be able to watch all of the action live on the UMA website as new sculptures are delivered to their new home on the morning of Thursday, July 13th.

This year’s additions include Quantum Reef by Chris Chubb (Tallahassee, Florida), Space Nest by Frank Henderson (Evanston, Illinois), Welcome Home by Zachery Long (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma), Cetacean Remains by Pat Mclain (Stone Mountain, Georgia), One Tree by Ann Moeller Steverson (Huntsville, Alabama) and Opus by Allison Wickey (Santa Rosa Beach, Florida).

The 2023 artworks will join the 34 sculptures previously deployed on a one-acre (.4-hectare) permit patch of seabed off Grayton Beach State Park, further expanding the USA’s first permanent underwater museum to 40 art works.

Follow @UMAFlorida on social media for all deployment timing updates. Weather and wifi permitting, the livestream will be available for viewing at umafl.org.
