The Marine Arts Gallery has just moved to Marblehead. Brothers and co-owners Peter and Phil Kiernan opened a new space at 26 Atlantic Avenue. The gallery has nautical scenes painted by 19th century and contemporary artists from around the world.

As Peter Kiernan said, “We really love what we do.” The gallery was started by Russell Kiernan, the current owners’ father in 1968. He collected his own paintings while the family lived in Beverly.

There are about 75 paintings in the gallery and several hundred more that are in storage in Salem. They had a gallery in Naples, Florida as well but closed it two years ago. The gallery is open from Monday to Saturday 10-5. Watch for a grand opening that should happening at the end of May.
