100% of proceeds from this event will benefit the Magnolia Historical Society Inc.
    Our new facility, one of six (2) two room schoolhouses left in the USA, built in 1895 will function as our historical museum and local cultural center.  The Blynman School (Little Red Schoolhouse) served Magnolia’s students for over 103 years until it was closed by the City. It then remained vacant for 6 years.  As I write this request, the Magnolia Historical Society is working with the City of Gloucester on a Purchase and Sale agreement for the property.
     We are thrilled to have the opportunity to own this Magnolia landmark,  but before we can begin our journey of moving in and promoting the history and culture of this village in Gloucester, Mass we are going to need to do some expensive repairs. This fall we will need to install a new heating system and repair the roof.
With your generosity, we will be able to fund the building projects and pay for maintenance.

Announcing “Cape Ann ReImaged”
Gloucester, MA, June 29, 2012:  Local artist Clare Higgins is pleased to announce the launching of “Cape Ann ReImaged.”
“Cape Ann ReImaged” is a series of digital art works depicting some of Cape Ann’s best known icons and traditions, with a special twist. While Cape Ann has long been a favorite subject for artists, from Winslow Homer and Edward Hopper to many artists of today, Clare has chosen to explore what might have happened if Renaissance, abstract and pop artists had visited the area. “Cape Ann ReImaged” depicts Motif No. 1, the Greasy Pole, Man at the Wheel and more as they might have been envisioned by these artists.
Clare is originally from New York and moved to Gloucester in 2004. She is a writer and digital artist who enjoys creating combinations of classic and modern material. Her play Queer Bent for the Tudor Gent (a Shakespearean version of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy) won two competitions and was performed on stage in Sydney, Australia and New York City. Her published works include a Gilbert and Sullivan-style satire of Seinfeld and humorous pieces imagining how Shakespeare would react to modern technology.
One of Clare’s digital artworks, Cats on the Jatte, based on Seurat’s Sunday Afternoon on the Grande Jatte, was featured in the 2009 Cape Ann Notecard Collection. Cats on the Jatte is part of her “Modern Art Cats” series, feline interpretations of famous art works.
In keeping with her love of mixing seemingly disparate styles and substances, Clare turned an eye toward Cape Ann’s signature events and landmarks and was inspired to imagine how such artists as Da Vinci, Picasso and Warhol might have depicted them. The result is “Cape Ann ReImaged.” If you’d enjoy an innovative way of viewing your favorite parts of Cape Ann, take a trip to http://www.cafepress.com/capeannreimaged.
