They include painters Steve Cryan, Griselda Healy, Patricia Melvin, Chris Protas, and John Stobart, R.A.; photographers Jonathan Atkin, Eric Holmes, Jin Lee, Michael McWeeney, and David Plowden; printmaker Alan Petrulis; and designers Daniel Adams and Sean Noyce.

Several New York Harbor towing companies have lent their support to the exhibition. They include Reinauer Transportation Companies, which is celebrating its 85th year in the maritime industry this year; Moran Towing & Transportation; McAllister Brothers Towing; K-Sea Transportation Partners, LP; Thornton Towing & Transportation, LLC ; and Penn Maritime Transportation Company.
