At the end of the parking lot on the right, just after you turn onto Rock Neck Avenue to go onto Rocky Neck, there’s a blue and white information sign that’s been there in some form for many years. We’ve created an upgrade, it is beautiful!
The new sign is being installed this Friday, June 17th, in the morning. There’s going to be a Gloucester Times photo op at 11 a.m. and all are welcomed. Then there’s also going to be an “unveiling” ceremony on Thursday, June 23rd, at 5:30 p.m., and Herhonah The Mayor will be there for that little ceremony.
The new “wayfinding” map was designed by a committee of dedicated RNAC artists, and it shows the locations of places of business on the Neck, including 20 Artist Galleries, representing over 50 artists. (We thought about also showing all the artists who live and work on the Neck but don’t maintain galleries, but there were so many that it was impractical.) Rock Beaudin of White Light Design, in Beverly, did an amazing job of translating the many ideas the artists had into an integrated, clear, and effective design which will help tourists understand and enjoy Rocky Neck.
The framing and installation of the sign is going to be 100% professional and absolutely beautiful, thanks to the generosity of Frank Biscardi, Gloucester Resident, support of the arts, and owner of Boston Fence Company. The carpentry of the frame is amazing, done by Rocky Neck resident, violinist, artist, and Master Carpenter Jimmy Lounsberry. It’s beautiful, it’s strong, and it’s gonna last us many, many years!
Everybody’d invited to both events!
Good Morning Gloucester
