My View of Life on the Dock
When I first saw these pillows I knew I had to add them to All Things Gloucester
Throw in a Man at The Wheel and a Schooner Pillow and youâd round out the line.
Check âem-
They come in 18â or 20â and take two weeks to make as they are produced to order.
Check them out on All Things Gloucester
One of the great things about using recycled sailcloth is that it means this stuff doesnât end up clogging up our landfills. Something we all can agree is a good idea.
Hi Joey,
Get over to the library! This month, the Matz Gallery at the Gloucester Lyceum & Sawyer Free library is featuring the creative proposals of 15 semi finalists artist/artist teams for the HarborWalk Public Art Challenge.
Gloucester Engineering and the Matz family created a lovely exhibition space and lobby!
Bring your kids and grandchildren. There are games and small prizes and discoveries for all ages. Hereâs a printable sample âhidden picturesâ.
Leave some extra time to admire more art at the library, the neighborhood quilts, the always excellent Childrenâs Library and programming, and the fountain. Remember to peer past the construction screen to see whatâs coming! The exhibit is open when the library is open. Come for the 8:30AM opening time of the main library, and then head down to the Childrenâs room, which opens at 10AM. Tuesdays and Thursdays the library is open until 8pm.
Adults are welcome, too. Here are some of our city planners visiting with Utile while theyâre working together on the downtown work plan.
Love Thursday because of the Farmers’ Market. Lots of great food and very social.

Before and after of the Dirty Girl Mud Run. It was a benefit run for breast cancer research! We had a blast.

“Dance of the Cranes” with City Hall in the background. I took this photo on a “photo walk” with participants in my photography workshop at The Hive.
A seagull crashes into Cape Ann Brewery’s awning, but by the time I finished my beer he/she was on itâs feet ready to find a parked car somewhere in Gloucester.
Hi Joey,
If youâre downtown, have a look at Parsons Street from either Main Street or Rogers. The Gloucester Committee for the Arts is pleased to announce that the first of 3 public art award projects has begun right there. Stop by today or over the weekend, and next week. You might see artist James Owen Calderwood at work on his 190 foot idea.
Calderwood proposed a temporary painted abstract fishnet to extend the entire length of Parsons Street (alley way from Main Street to Rogers Street). He wrote, âThis street acts as an important pedestrian link, and I am hoping to catch lots of visitorsâŚI have been creating exterior public art for 20 years, and am interested in enriching public spaces with art that engages with the siteâs history, culture and native surroundings.â
Hereâs some before pictures:
Some proposal ideas
Action from yesterday:
DPW was working on a multi step process to ramp and level the transition from the sidewalk to the street. A manhole casting was raised, new concrete had to dry, and then there was some paving. There are also 2 new bollard/perch seats.
Thereâs art on Parsons now, here fleeting:
And substantial: sometimes thereâs a peek through of artist Robert Stephensonâs transportive entrance. Fittingly his was the first signature on Jamieâs visitor sign.
And the harbor calling in one direction; and in the other, Main Street, City Hall and Cape Ann Museum, just quick steps away.
Many City departments are involved with any public art project.
Hereâs Jamie meeting with Victoria Caldwell at City Hall.
Jamie rented equipment from nearby Gloucester rental (air blower, rake, weed whacker, weed sprayerâvinegar Kim Smith!)
Donât forget to stop by the library this month to see the ideas from all 15 semi finalists on exhibit.

Hello folks,
As promised, here is a follow-up email to invite you once again to the reading of my dad’s play, The Rainmaker, at the Gloucester Stage on July 29th. It starts at 8, and there will be a short Q&A afterwards and then a reception with some nice snacks đ Please do come if you can. The event is $20 and you can get tickets by clicking on the link below.
(If you are able to get your tickets more than a week before the event that would be terrific, so I’ll know how many snacks to order. đ
My original email to you is below.
Thank you, I hope you can come!

p.s. Last night I went to their production of Spring Awakening, and it was FANTASTIC. I really recommend it (tho’ it is rather explicit) — it only runs through Sunday, so hurry!
Good Morning Gloucester
