The fine art galleries of Rockport are launching a new series of events this summer, the Rockport 2nd Saturday Art Walks. Beginning June 8, participating galleries throughout downtown Rockport will be welcoming art lovers from 5 to 8pm each 2nd Saturday of the month, with refreshments, new artwork, and fresh exhibits.
Spearheaded by Gallery Montanaro and Rusty & Ingrid Screenprints, a committee of gallery owners are organizing the events and have received an enthusiastic response from additional galleries wishing to participate. Ashley Montanaro comments, “Rockport has a thriving art community with an extraordinary number of galleries in easy walking distance to one another. We’re excited about the opportunity to enhance the art destination experience of Rockport with the launching of our 2nd Saturdays Art Walk.”
A wide range of artwork, including painting, printmaking, photography, pottery, and sculpture, will be on view. In addition, the Rockport Art Association & Museum will be extending their normal hours to 8pm for the Art Walk evenings, offering rotating exhibits of artist members and selections from their historic museum collection.
The event’s website, www.rockportartists.com , has an interactive map where visitors can find information about and the locations of each of the participating art galleries.
