Osprey Nest Update

Posted on by Pat D

Yesterday I was lucky enough to catch a changing of the guard between Annie and Squam at the LobstaLand nest. I was checking the osprey cam (link here) because I knew the chicks were expected to hatch any moment. One has indeed hatched and it was briefly exposed to the open while I was watching! Perhaps by the time you see this, the other two will have hatched as well! It’s so much fun to watch the nest on the osprey cam.

Journey of a Song, Saturday, June 6 from 5–7 PM

Posted on by James Eves

Rocky Neck Cultural Center, 6 Wonson Street, Gloucester, MA

Journey of a Song Brings Acclaimed Musicians and Visual Artists Together at Rocky Neck Art Colony.  An intimate evening of music, storytelling, and creative inspiration connected to RNAC’s exhibition, Rhythm and Rhyme.

Rocky Neck Art Colony presents Journey of a Song, a special evening of live music, storytelling, and artistic conversation featuring celebrated North Shore musicians Dan King and Dave Mattacks on Saturday, June 6 from 5–7 PM at the Rocky Neck Cultural Center.

Blending performance with personal narrative, the event invites audiences inside the creative process behind songwriting — exploring how melodies, lyrics, memories, and life experiences evolve into music that resonates deeply with listeners.

Dan King has been writing songs and producing music for many years, performing in venues from coast to coast and collaborating with acclaimed musicians including King Brown Mattacks and Girandies since 2001. Joining him is legendary drummer Dave Mattacks, best known for his work with the iconic British folk-rock band Fairport Convention, who will celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2027. Mattacks has also recorded as a session drummer with renowned artists including Elton John, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Cat Stevens.

The performance is presented in conjunction with RNAC’s current exhibition, Rhythm and Rhyme, on view at the Rocky Neck Cultural Center through June 28, 2026. The exhibition explores the deep connections between visual art, musical arrangements, and lyrical compositions — highlighting how rhythm, harmony, improvisation, and emotional expression transcend artistic disciplines.Advance registration is encouraged, as seating is limited.  Admission: $10 RNAC Members | $20 Non-Members For tickets and information: www.rockyneckartcolony.org

Joel Janowitz. Mark Cooper. Cape Ann | Two Visions opens June 13th. Jane Deering Gallery #GloucesterMA. Summer art exhibitions

Posted on by Catherine

The exhibition Joel Janowitz | Mark Cooper at Jane Deering Gallery opens June 13th, 2026 runs thru Sunday July 12th, 2026

More from Jane Deering about the artists and the show:

Joel Janowitz and Mark Cooper—two Boston-based artists, each with an international reputation—share a friendship that spans decades. Their working studios are on the same Boston street; and as such, they often meet for lunch where the conversation invariably focuses on art. They admire and encourage each other’s work, contrasting as it is, and relish the freedom to critique, which only a close friendship affords. Respect triumphs judgment. The artists also share a long history of exploring Cape Ann. Each has been galvanized by the physical and ephemeral nature of Gloucester and its surrounds, and have spent years exploring and enjoying the beauty of Cape Ann. Their experiences are expressed in very different yet conversant artistic outcomes.

Cooper has been coming here for fifty years and writes

“My creative efforts have always been idea based…The beauty of the ocean, the giant stones, the quarries, the beaches, the sand, the grass, the birds, and the plants meld in my subconscious and are reflected in my art. …
After so many visits, I still discover new things each time – a new quarry or flower as well as a
new look at a familiar view.”

-Mark Cooper


Janowitz’s history in Gloucester and its vicinity spans more than thirty-five years. The region has served as one of the most important and influential motifs in his oeuvre. As he explains


“I’ve explored and painted throughout Cape Ann, and worked directly on-site, painting oils and
watercolors of the area’s abundant beauty. These on-site observations become my source
material.”

-Joel Janowitz

This exhibition is a look at how two renowned contemporary artists—and friends—uniquely interpret their shared reverence for and the inspirations they glean from Cape Ann.

For Cooper, the elements he explores are an inspiration for collage and assemblage, as well as for ceramics, often derived from underwater forms. “The art I create is non-narrative, allowing for viewers to bring their own history and experiences to engage with my work. Elements can be seemingly unrelated, even contradictory; yet these interactions produce a more meaningful and immersive whole. The discovery of unexpected connections is inviting for the viewer and leads to new meanings and greater imagination.”

Janowitz explains his work as addressing his curiosity about the emotive and psychological potentials of pictorial space. “I’ve created numerous series, each centered on the capability of a spatial structure to carry meaning. I explore the known and the unknowable; order and randomness; the abstract and the ambiguous; and the sense of anticipation and inevitability. Often I work en-plein-air, observing situations such as a figure jumping into the ocean, or a log slowing engulfed by water; and I look closely at materials as well—the granite quarries, the rocky shorelines. All of this make up the essence of the Cape. Once in my studio, these plein-air references allow for small observations to emerge into formidable, large-scale works.”

But is there a conversant among the contrasting presentations of their work? a dialogue to unlock? a kinship to discover? It has always been the intent of the gallery that viewers would observe and discover relationships among artworks. In this particular exhibition, finding connections among these works requires curiosity and a close look.

Spicy Margarita Monday At Tonno

Posted on by Pat D

First, sincere thank you and shout out to the Tonno staff for an outstanding event yesterday at the fundraiser to support Junior Dunne. The upstairs room is a perfect location for such an event and the entire staff was nothing but gracious and helpful. Special shout out to Anthony Caturano for his generosity and leadership. Thank you to everyone who stopped by or donated. We couldn’t do it without you.

Back to Margarita Monday, this week it’s the Spicy Margarita at Tonno on Main Street in Gloucester. We stopped in for a bite and I tried the spicy margarita. It’s a little spicier than I expected but the sour mix is very much on point so the drink was very enjoyable. Jim had bar bite tuna and chicken sliders. I ordered the filet because I’ve been craving it for a while now so this was the perfect opportunity. The steak was done to perfection and the bar staff attentive and friendly. For the sake of this post (haha) I also ordered the flourless chocolate cake. Just the right finish on the experience. As I have said before, sometimes you just need some Tonno in your life.

Not a kayaking day on Saturday

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Saturday, it was, needless to say, was a stormy day.  As the rain was letting up took a ride to see the ocean.  It was low tide, but the ocean was rolling and singing a song.  There were some surfers trying to surf at Eastern Point, they were not having much luck.
