Well Lookey Here- Our EJ Is seARTS Artist of The Week!
seARTS Bass Rocks Art Loan Program
An interview with our Artist of the Week, E.J. Lefavour
How do you feel about being chosen for the Bass Rocks Art Loan Program?
Very excited. This opportunity is allowing me to exhibit my work in a venue and to a segment of our population that I may not have been able to reach otherwise (unless they are regulars to Rocky Neck). It is an honor to be in such great creative company, and I am grateful for the opportunity.

What is your medium or area of creativity? I am a painter, photographer, writer, illustrator. Most recently I have been working with the over abundance of wonderful photos I have taken over the past few years and incorporating them into unique, three dimentional photo montages, which people are really enjoying. I created about 50 of them over the winter, and the series is called "Gloucester: The Grit and the Glory", since most encompass images of rope, chains, rusted hulls of boats, nets and other images from the working seaport aspect of Gloucester, combined with the glory of that industry and of the natural beauty that surrounds us here, as well as the history.
How long have you been an artist? I have been a working artist since 1991 after leaving the corporate world and making the decision to pursue my art full time.
Where do you get your inspiration? Anywhere and everywhere around me.
Other than the Bass Rocks Golf Club, where can we find your works? At my galler(ies) on Rocky Neck. Khan Studio and the Good Morning Gloucester Gallery at 77 Rocky Neck Ave., Gallery 3 from May 15 to October 15, and at my winter gallery, up the stairs at 1 Wonson Street (behind Sailor Stan’s) from October to April.
What else would you like us to know? I passionately love Cape Ann, Rocky Neck where I now reside year round, Annisquam were I lived in the winter for three seasons, East Gloucester and the Backshore, Eastern Point, paddleboarding, Good Morning Gloucester and all the people associated with it, and all the wonderful people I meet and have met since moving here. I feel very blessed to be here.
Cape Ann going’s on and opportunities for the week…

Aaron Snider works on a prototype frame for our new informational kiosks. The kiosks will line the walkway from Harbor Loop to the Harriet Webster Wharf. Each kiosk will describe a facet of life associated with Gloucester Harbor. Thanks to the City of Gloucester for help with this exciting project.
American Eels are the latest addition to the creatures in our Aquarium. Come by and check out the rock crabs, the skates, the sea ravens, and much more!
Our museum shop will be getting a facelift. Details are still in the works, but expect to see something like this. Many thanks to Monty Lewis Designs for his work on this and so many other things!
MG and the City of Gloucester are Winnahs!
