Cape Ann Artisans 1st Ever Holiday Group Show and Sale

image002

In 2013, the Cape Ann Artisans were invited to show their work together for the first time at the Cape Ann Museum.  The opening and exhibit was one of the most popular ever to be held at the Museum.   Building on that success, the Artisans will go “on the road” again for a first time ever combined Holiday Show.  This time, the destination is Rockport at the Rockport Art Association.

As an extension of the popular “Shop Rockport’s” special evening planned by the merchants for Friday December 5th, the Artisans will display and sell their wares in the heart of the Rockport Cultural District on Friday evening and continue through Saturday.

“This is a wonderful collaboration between the RAA and Cape Ann Artisans to bring together our audiences and expand gift giving of hand-made artist works in our community,” says Carol Linsky Executive Director of the RAA,  “in fact, many of the artisans represented in this show are also juried artist members of the RAA.”

The majority of Artisans will participate in the show, but not all.  Those whose works are challenging to move around invite the public to contact their individual studios for a visit. 

With winter upon us, the Artisans hope that by moving under one roof, they can make “shopping local” even more convenient for Cape Ann art lovers. 

What you will see: Unique works by 18 Artisans in a variety of media including glass jewelry, sea glass accessories, colagraphs, pottery, painting, photographs, and hand painted silk, stone sculpture, weaving, mosaics, and more! You will also enjoy RAA’s Masterpieces in Miniature small works show.
