My man James Eves at Cape Ann Giclee is going to be the Admin and master of operations for our Cape Ann Arts Calendar.
It’s been tried a million times by well intentioned people. Building websites that will get traction on their own are nearly impossible. An art Calendar on it’s own may sound like a great idea but to start with zero viewers and build it up to 40-80,000 views a day like GMG has involves an insane amount of work and dedication. GMG has such a diverse subject matter which is what makes it such a monstrous hub of people’s daily media consumption. Just Food, or Just Industrial Waterfront or Just Music or Just Butterflies and Flowers or Just Art On their own don’t add up to one one hundredth of the sum of the whole.
So leveraging the insane number of viewers we’re going to offer up the Community Arts Calendar which is being developed as we speak by master design guy James Eves.
So if you have an art event coming up, instead of submitting it to me, you’ll be submitting it to James and he will add it to the calendar. Instead of the way I handle press releases of this type (as I get them I post them), it’s difficult to go back and see the whole calendar picture of what’s happening when. This way it will all be laid out for you in an easy to read calender with who, when, what, where.
So if you are a museum, individual artist or gallery, submit your press releases to James and he will get you listed.

Simply brilliant and no surprise based on all the other wicked cool, creative and needed things that come out of this group!
Yes, we will all have fun thanks to the fact that news about art events will be readily available – so less likely that we’ll miss something will such a great resource on GMG.
However, we all know that this is a real job for you, James – taking this on represents a great deal of work and effort on your part and for that we will all be eternally grateful to you!
MANY THANKS!!

Awesome! True story: Michelle and I were thinking this exact thing needed to happen, so we were planning to stop by the docks and chat you up to feel out ideas. Glad someone is running with the ball. Way overdue!

It’s a lot if work and very generous of James to donate his time to this. Hopefully when people think of digital reproductive services they’ll think of James and Cape Ann Giclee first!

Thursday or Friday I’m trying to think of that gallery opening with free wine and cheese and the GMG search engine is failing me. This will be awesome. Rubber Duck hates to miss a free hors d’oeuvre.
