Cape Ann Artisans are part of a vibrant arts community, located along the scenic North Shore of Massachusetts that includes three important cultural districts. For the past two years Gloucester has been named one of the country’s top ten Art Destinations by American Style Magazine. Come visit us, explore our exquisite natural surroundings and see the fine art and craft that they inspire. Many Artisans are open year round; during non-tour times please call for an appointment to view our work.
The tour is free and self-guided. Professionally printed brochures containing the studio descriptions and the tour map are available at all studios, the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce, the Rockport Information Booth on Rte 127, and many other public venues; meanwhile, at home you can download and print the PDF to plan your trip. Print it out, mark it up, or just keep it on your portable device (smartphone, tablet,…) for travel. As you approach each artisan studio on the road a bright, magenta Studio Tour banner will mark the studio location.
As always, for a comprehensive list of family activities, please visit our friends at North Shore Kid

Greetings from the Pond Team…
We had a great Yard Sale on Saturday – plus a Snakes and Vernal Pond Exhibit. The weather was perfect. We were set up earlier than ever. Breakdown happened faster than ever. We brought in over $1400.00, which is the second most ever.
I wish I could thank everyone by name, but its really not possible with all the Vernal Pond Team members, the Kestrels and everyone who donated items or volunteered some time before, during and after the sale. All I can say is Thank You to everyone for a great fundraising event!
I’ll be at O’Maley School in Gloucester on Friday, June 2, for Visiting Scientist Day meeting with four or five different classes to talk about field biology and a few other things. Not sure what time yet. I could use a volunteer or two to help out. Email cavpt@yahoo.com if you can assist.
