Community Stuff 5/4/13

Hey Joey!
Things are hopping over at the Paint Factory since the move-in has begun!
Over two weeks we’ve had wonderful teams of volunteers, including members of
the Rocky Neck Art Colony, helping us clean and paint the inside of Building
E. You can see the gorgeous original wood trim that Jim Casey has
painstakingly sanded. Rebecca Siswick from Island Art & Hobby is still
painting some of the original building details with her skilled artist’s
hand. We had a lot of fun working with everyone and are very grateful to
Barbara Boudreau for organizing the effort.
This weekend Iain and Geoffrey Richon battled for hours with the septic
system to install a new alarm, another nasty job to cross off the list. The
bathroom is in, lights are in, phones are in, furniture is in, gravel is
coming, so it’s a very exciting time.
Thanks for passing along the good news.

Hi Joey,
I’m celebrating 20 years at Barbara Donnelly Gallery at 19 Harbor Loop – one of Gloucester’s best kept secrets!  I have had studio space in Gloucester since 1979. The water and boats have always drawn me to them. My grandfather and uncle built wooden boats so the boats and sea speak to me. One of my ancestors was a Welsh sea captain who immigrated to Maine so I have the sea in my blood,    OPEN STUDIO & Sale  May 3 – 5 from 12 – 6 each day.  Need your help to let people know there is Art on Harbor Loop. I’ve followed your GMG for about a year and I love it.
