Gloucester, MA – Gloucester High School’s National Art Honor Society students at Cove Gallery.  Rocky Neck Art Colony is proud to announce a special Pop-Up Art Show featuring talented young junior and senior artists from Gloucester High School’s chapter of the National Art Honor Society. Presented in collaboration with Cape Ann Art Haven, the exhibition will take place April 10–12, 2026 at Cove Gallery, 37 Rocky Neck Avenue.

The three-day exhibition will showcase original work by Gloucester High School juniors and seniors who are members of the National Art Honor Society, a program established in 1978 by the National Art Education Association to recognize students with outstanding artistic ability and dedication to art scholarship, character, and service.

Now in its fourth year at Gloucester High School, the chapter has made it its mission to bring art into the community and use it as a powerful vehicle for connection. Through projects such as creating portraits for children in Cambodia through the Memory Project, mentoring younger students in the Art Buddies program at Beeman Elementary School, creating pet portraits to help accelerate adoptions, and designing cards for local nursing home residents, students use their artistic talents to bring people together and strengthen community bonds.

This partnership between Rocky Neck Art Colony, Cape Ann Art Haven, and Gloucester High School offers students more than just an exhibition opportunity. As part of the program, students receive hands-on training in the professional practices of running an art exhibition—including framing artwork, curating and hanging a show, marketing their work, engaging with visitors, and learning the fundamentals of selling art.

“Rocky Neck Art Colony is thrilled to host this exciting new show of young artists,” said Elizabeth Carey, RNAC Director. “Providing emerging artists with real-world gallery experience is an important part of nurturing the next generation of creative voices in our community.”

The exhibition will feature a diverse range of mediums—from photography and painting to ceramics and mixed media—each piece reflecting the students’ curiosity, creativity, and personal expression. For many participants, the experience represents an important step in their artistic journey.

While some of these young artists may pursue art professionally after graduation and others may follow different paths, all carry forward the enduring power of art to inspire, connect, and enrich their communities.

The public is warmly invited to visit the Pop-Up Art Show April 10-12, as well as an Opening Reception on Friday, April 10 from 4-6pm.  Join us as we celebrate the creativity and dedication of Gloucester’s emerging artists.

I was craving a taco salad so GMG Jim took me to Tacos Lupita on Washington St for lunch recently. Just the right bright spot on a somewhat grey day! Order pickups were hopping and quite a variety of diners came in from young adults to working guys on lunch break so it’s clearly popular with a wide range of customers. And the pricing is very reasonable. Jim got a chicken taco and I had the salad. We sat to eat so we could watch the world go by along Washington St.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! It seems only “proper” that we should wrap up the occasional and random Irish Coffee tasting series with a Proper Irish Coffee from Mile Marker on Essex Ave. As always, we were greeted warmly when we arrived with Irish Coffee on our minds. It is indeed the proper Irish Coffee served hot with lightly whipped cold cream and (I believe) Proper Irish Whiskey. My cup overflowed! Thank you Mile Marker! Slainte to all! See you around town today!

Ready for the Catch…
