MOTIF No. 1 DAY FESTIVAL
Downtown Rockport will come alive with music, art, and poetry on Motif No. 1 Day, slated for Saturday, May 22nd. Motif No. 1 Day is a long-standing Rockport tradition, a chance to celebrate Rockport’s famous fishing shack, Motif No. 1, the subject of countless paintings and photographs throughout the last century. Motif No. 1 Day brings a focus on the arts to Rockport, both past and present. The festival includes interactive art events such as the Sidewalk Chalk Art contest, along with great food, live music, historical presentations, art activities for children, and the Words Before Dinner event, a poetry reading featuring the beauty and history of Cape Ann as its theme.
Jazz, Celtic and bands will be featured, with appearances by singer-songwriter Brad Byrd, Marina Evans, Alek Razdan & A-Train, and the Rockport Legion Band among others. The day also includes featured events at participating businesses and an exciting array of community events such as a reception for the Motif No. 1 Photography Show at the Rockport Art Association http://www.rockportartassn.org, community concerts presented by Rockport Music http://www.rcmf.org, and a coffeehouse at the Old Sloop Church.
The entire festival begins on Friday night, May 21st, with the debut screening of a special film featuring archival footage of Rockport through the years from the private collection of Pierce Wilson of Twin Lights Soda in collaboration with Dogtown Productions.
