Gallery Open May – October
Gallery 53 on Rocky Neck (formerly the Rocky Neck Gallery) is seeking new members for the 2016 season. A member-run, centrally located gallery under the umbrella of the Rocky Neck Art Colony, Gallery 53 exhibits and sells the work of 25 to 30 Cape Ann/North Shore artists to a customer base of local, national and international visitors. In 2015, over 14,000 art lovers visited the gallery, which is open seasonally from Memorial Day until Columbus Day.
“In addition to excellent artists who produce beautiful, saleable work,” said gallery manager Judy Robinson-Cox, “we want energetic, enthusiastic people who will pitch in and help run the gallery. A co-operative gallery is one where members share the day-to-day responsibilities of running the business – everything from strategic planning, marketing, party planning and record keeping to hanging the artwork and cleaning the floors.”
This year the gallery is especially interested in finding accomplished artists who work in media and artistic styles not currently represented in the gallery. This includes abstract painting, sculpture, glass arts, fiber arts, and other media with unique, distinctive styles. A group of Gallery 53 artists will review the artwork submitted by prospective members and evaluate it based on originality of concept, technical skill, marketability and appropriateness for Gallery 53. The prospective member’s ability to contribute to gallery operations will also be assessed.
