FOCUS ON CAPE ANN, MA
C
ape Ann’s near idyllic seaside towns include Gloucester and Rocky Neck, Rockport, Essex and Manchester-bythe Sea. Often referred to as Massachusetts’ “other” cape, this storied peninsula is home to outstanding art galleries, museums, cultural venues and artists’ studios. In fact, two of the Massachusetts Cultural Council’s first state designated cultural districts are in Cape Ann, one in Rocky Neck and the other in downtown Rockport—an affirmation of the cape’s rich artistic heritage and its magnetic, almost mystical pull on artists from all over the world. Let’s take a tour! One of Cape Ann’s premier galleries, the Central Street Gallery is a co-op of fourteen award-winning artists working in oil, pastel and watercolor. Found in the nautical town of Manchester-by-the Sea, the gallery’s heirloomquality paintings are well priced for both budding and mature collectors alike, with options ranging from small watercolors to large oil paintings. Among the featured artists are Ann Goldberg and her electric floral masterworks, and William Fusco, whose landscapes depict the seaside in astonishing detail. Driving further into the center of Manchester-by-the-Sea, you’ll find the surprising Gladstone Gallery. Along with an eclectic and carefully curated mix of elegant and timeless antique and contemporary fine jewelry, Gladstone also maintains rotating exhibitions of fine art. A top destination for a design savvy and art-oriented clientele, the gallery
will hold an exhibition of evocative oil and watercolor paintings by Christopher Pullman from July 6 through September 9th. When planning your Cape Ann itinerary, make note of The Festival By the Sea taking place Saturday, August 4 in downtown Manchester. The festival is a celebration of art, music, and food, where guests can indulge in the products and abundant talent of this historic locale. Enjoy live music throughout the
day, as artists, craftspeople and local farmers and co-ops showcase their handmade products and produce. Just a brief drive northward past salty marshes lie the misty harbors of Gloucester. Here in America’s oldest fishing port, the celebrated artist Sean Hurley, featured in Art New England’s March/April issue, has been producing astonishing etchings and woodcut prints since 2005. Hurley’s haunting scenes of

the “unseen and forgotten corners of the urban and suburban surroundings� document “the environments—both physical and mental—through which life’s path� takes him. The interplay of light and shadows over crumbling walls, weathered streets and open skies reveals a poignant visual metaphor for Hurley’s own “internal environments.� Perhaps one of the most attractive homes in all of New England, The Sargent House Museum bursts with the historic elegance and artistic genius of Judith Sargent Murray and her descendent, John Singer Sargent. The museum boasts a number of Sargent paintings as well as several pieces of furniture crafted by Robert Sheraton; all are in superior condition. This beautiful Georgian structure, which sits atop a steep hill stippled with wildflowers, is a fitting testament to Murray—one of America’s most notable feminist writers. Save an entire afternoon for the celebrated Cape Ann Museum, which maintains an impressive collection of fine art, decorative art, and maritime works. The museum’s summer plans include two exhibitions exploring the interrelationship of Cape Ann’s people and its physical beauty. Marsden Hartley’s modernist depictions of Cape Ann are on view through October 14 in Soliloquy in Dogtown. On July 14, Sarah Hollis Perry and Rachel Perry Welty’s fascinating multimedia installation, water, water, begins. This collaborative work explores the complexity and identity of the mother-daughter relationship through both video and performance. Literally next door to the museum are the mesmerizing colors and glittering lights within Beth Williams’ exceptional glass studio.

Handmade glass beads and jewelry, crafted in the tradition of Venetian flame working, maintain both a classic elegance and contemporary flair. Williams remarks that, “my inspiration comes from my gardens [and] the ever-changing light on the ocean and seascapes that surround me.� Utilizing multi-layered colors mixed with pure metals, Williams creates breathtaking floral and aquatic forms that seem literally to pulse with light, and are an excellent addition to any collection. The heart of the Gloucester arts scene, the North Shore Arts Association, boasts a thriving membership of more than 300 contemporary artists hailing from across the country and is recognized nationally and worldwide. In addition to hosting one of the largest collections of painting and sculpture on Cape Ann, the NSAA offers demonstrations, lectures, and adult, teen and children’s workshops. On July
CAPE ANN, MA 28 the NSAA conducts Music at Eden’s Edge, in which a flutist, violinist, cellist, and harpsichordist perform on its scenic grounds. On August 11, the NSAA celebrates its ninetieth year with a fabulous Live Art Auction and Gala featuring Skinner’s Stuart Slavid. Jeff Weaver has lived in Gloucester since 1972 and paints stunning museum-quality images of waterfront landscapes and nautical vantages in the American Realist tradition. Weaver states that the area’s “architectural diversity, decaying wharves, and working waterfront have provided me with an intriguing array of subject matter for almost 40 years.� His Gloucester and Cape Ann scenes are reminiscent of Edward Hopper in their clean lines and great sensitivity to light and shadow, while his Fisherman series is a confla-

Continuing along the coastline, the art lover’s itinerary should also include a day within the Rocky Neck Art Colony, one of the oldest continuously working art colonies in the country. RNAC artists and local residents are in the process of transforming a former church into “The Cultural Center at Rocky Neck.” Artists are conducting free tours of the Historic Art Trail, holding concerts and art classes, scheduling community events and supporting lectures for the Goetemann Artist in Residence Program. “Nights on the Neck” is a fun and popular RNAC event where, on the first Thursday of each summer month, the galleries remain open late into the evening as musicians and performers entertain. Make your dinner reservations early! Celebrating its grand opening on Rocky Neck is the stunning Aquatro Gallery, featuring exquisite hand-painted textiles by renowned artist Adriana “Gigi” Mederos and hand-produced and limited-edition items embracing artisan culture. Aquatro is one of the region’s newest hot spots for unique fabrics, textile art, as well as Grace Edwards’s out-of-the-ordinary jewelry line, Amore. Look for Aquatro Gallery on Madfish Wharf, past the Rudder Restaurant, where another cluster of distinctive galleries is found. Make sure you walk the full extent of Rocky Neck.

Mapmaker’s Dream series obscures the line between painting and photography, depicting evocative scenes warped, and otherwise altered by cascading droplets of water. Choice, one of Archer’s newest projects, is a portrait series of women with their hair wrapped in fabric chosen for some unique significance. The fabrics may be new, handed down for generations or instilled with some other reason. Their personal stories add to this innovative and intimate study. Archer’s work is provocative and powerful. A short drive along Route 127, and you arrive in the land of the Motif #1, Rockport. Here, your itinerary includes a visit to The White Seagull Gallery, displaying the paintings of award-winning artist Susanne E. White. “I see art everywhere, especially in the small, ordinary things,� remarks White. “The paintings are close-up views of the natural landscape of Cape Ann, an examination of the abstract in nature.� A member of the Copley Society, the International Society of Acrylic Painters, The NSAA, and the Rockport Art Association, White’s work appears in the show Realism & Abstraction at the Soo Rye Gallery in Rye, New Hampsire, through July 20. Another work is on display at the Copley Society’s esteemed Summer Show. Acclaimed artist John Caggiano, whose gallery overlooks the water at the top of Bear Skin Neck, creates sensational plein air oil paintings—many highlighting his extensive travels, including scenes of Cape Cod, Europe, Cape Ann, Vermont, and more. Caggiano states that, “Painting for me is the bold and dynamic use of color that infuses life into the subject of the painting.� Caggiano relocated to

Rockport in 1980, drawn by Cape Ann’s physical beauty and mystical light. His art has been featured in numerous books, magazines, television shows, and newspapers. Caggiano will also hold a painting workshop at the NSAA on August 14, 15, and 16. One of Rockport’s newest galleries is Bob and Jill Armstrong’s forward-thinking iartcolony on Broadway. Here, creators and collectors gather to discuss, critique, and enjoy the local ambiance in warm and supportive surroundings. The iartcolony’s third anniversary event takes place at 6 p.m. on July 21 at 42 Broadway in Rockport. Featured during this celebration are the paintings of Jill Whitney Armstrong. Currently on display is Armstrong’s 20 square foot oil rendering of the “Little Sandra,� honoring the last eastern rigged dragger in Gloucester Harbor. Armstrong’s work, which take Cape Ann’s natural beauty as its inspiration, epitomizes this independent and intriguing ‘colony.’ Rob Diebboll, who came to Cape Ann from Michigan, works primarily outdoors, composing as he goes. His oils and watercolors reflect the region’s inimitable surf, sand, and sea, focusing mostly on landscape and figure. Diebboll “uses paintings as a tool for seeing and understanding the relationship between objects in space.� His work reflects his surroundings and the environments where he has lived and traveled, including coastal New England, the Adirondacks, and the Caribbean, and it emits a simple, joyous quality that’s contemplative at the same time.

Its collection features an array of paintings, graphics and sculpture—check out the dazzling John Raimondi piece out front— representing a pictorial history of life and art on Cape Ann. Just a few doors from the RAA, the Tusinski Gallery literally explodes with color. “Color is my source for inspiration and there is no better example than the magical light on Cape Ann.� Tusinski’s work is reminiscent of Gustav Klimt with its striking oval shapes and flattened, Japanesque perspectives. Her sinuous floral arrangements pop off the canvas, aided by a subtle application of color and careful composition. Tusinski’s work has been widely exhibited and revolves around color relationships and how they expand objects from our everyday lives, like poppies and tables, into the extraordinary. New to Rockport’s Bear Skin Neck is Melissa Finelli’s Melle Finelli Jewelry—a perfect destination to indulge your passion for hand-crafted jewelry. Finelli, a skilled metalsmith, who studied at the North Bennet Street School and the Museum School in Boston, creates sculptural jewelry that playfully mixes smooth and rough surfaces to great effect. “I love the engineering challenges of putting each piece together,� remarks Finelli. “I’m drawn to the inherent obsessiveness of creating these minute compositions, all the while seeking a balance of precision and chaos in each design.� Her intimate studio is open by chance or appointment year-round.

Rockport’s R. Lerch Gallery has been offering museum-quality photographs at reasonable prices for a remarkable thirty-three years. The gallery currently carries work by the renowned Fred Stein, including brilliant, splitsecond street photography from 1930s Paris and 1940s New York, as well as portraits of the personalities of that era. Lerch’s own work is rooted in the tradition of patient deliberation inspired by some of the large-format masters. “Goal one is simply for the work to be visually alive,� says Lerch, “I want to give the viewer the space and desire to ponder life’s larger questions.� Clearly a weekend, or longer, is necessary to fully explore Cape Ann. In Rockport, nearly every elegant bed and breakfast you happen upon will likely be a member of the Inns of Rockport. This organization includes some of the finest accommodations in the region, and comprises twenty-eight hotels, resorts, and B & Bs. Trust the Inns of Rockport to find the perfect home base for gallery hopping across Cape Ann. One particular standout is The Inn on Cove Hill. This intimate, tranquil B & B is an historic 1771 house which, according to legend, was built with proceeds from pirates’ gold. The inn boasts beautiful harbor views from its third floor deck and Rockport’s many attractions are a short walk away. The Inn’s five rooms are welcoming and comfortable and the entire inn serves as a massive art project—all funds raised are used to restore this one-of-a-kind historical home. Simply stated, Cape Ann is a world-class center for working artists drawn to the region by an indescribable light and a supportive artistic and maritime community.

ravelers to midcoast Maine will discover one of the most striking art communities in the country. From museum collections of maritime paintings to studios of practicing artisans, this legendary coastline stretching roughly from Portland to Belfast will surprise and engage you at every piney turn in the road! Heading north on I-95, your first stop is stately Brunswick, home to the scenic campus of Bowdoin College. Its Museum of Art features a distinguished international collection. From July 13 through October 21 the museum holds a retrospective of William Wegman, whose images of weimaraners have earned worldwide fame. On nearby Maine Street the Summer Island Studio is open year round. It celebrates diversity in the state’s art through rotating monthly exhibitions and opportunities to meet their artists. Continuing north into Bath, the C. Ford Gallery inhabits an 1848 Italianate house, part of the Sagadahoc Preservation Trust. The gallery shows over 100 vibrant original works by Ford. A garden tour, where visitors can appreciate Ford’s projects for the Children’s Museum of Discovery, is also available. With a drive to the peaceful town of Wiscasset, travelers can visit the inventive sculpture studio of Brandon Lutterman, whose art incorporates distinctive forms and color schemes from nature.
Afterwards travelers may explore the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, located on 250 acres of beautiful shorefront land in Boothbay Harbor. Its well-maintained gardens complement a full list of educational programs and special events. (See mainegardens.org.) One of Boothbay Harbor’s gems, the Allen David Gallery, offers space to appreciate Allen [David] Bunker’s landscapes. Bunker’s current body of work, Landscape Allusions, uses a Whistler-like tonality. Rick Dascam’s paintings of inlets and Janis Sanders’s meditations on architecture also may be seen here at 15 Townsend Avenue. Six miles along the Ocean Point Peninsula in East Boothbay, accessible by car, is Ocean Point Studio, owned and operated by the professional plein-air and studio painter Corinne
