What is Sharkapalooza?
Sharkapalooza is an art-driven celebration of the oceans, showcasing the power of creativity to inspire awareness and conservation. At its core, Sharkapalooza brings together local artists who capture the beauty and complexity of sharks, marine life, and aquatic ecosystems in their work.
