The Rocky Neck Art Colony (RNAC) is pleased to present Inside-Outside-In at Cove Gallery (37 Rocky Neck Ave). The show is curated by Sallie Strand and showcases the work of 5 well-known regional artists who respond to their Cape Ann surroundings in unique and specific ways. Artists include: Sallie Strand (painting), Kathleen Gerdon Archer (mixed media), Barbe Ennis (ceramic art), Joan Benotti (painting) and Gabrielle Rossmer (sculpture).

The show’s artists have a strong connection to the light, the ocean and the magic that are the North Shore. The curator states: “Treasures found by nourishing our senses with the beauty of our surroundings are embedded in our memories. These memories and ideas are then translated into art by shape, form, photograph, paint and assemblage.”

Visit during the gallery’s extended hours to see how each artist brings these deeply embedded memories into her art.

The public is invited to celebrate the artists and their work at an opening reception on August 17, from 5-7 PM.

RNAC acknowledges the generosity of Mark Goetemann, son of the late Rocky Neck artists, Gordon and Judith Goetemann, for the use of the Cove Gallery space. Mark has donated the use of his parents’ former home and gallery space to RNAC to honor their legacy as artists, as inveterate supporters of artistic excellence, and to carry on their commitment to keeping Rocky Neck a haven for artists and art lovers.
