Rocky Neck Art Colony’s Teaching Artist Partnership Program TOMORROW!
A noteworthy new program is being celebrated tomorrow, Thursday, June 6, from 5-7 pm at the Rocky Neck Cultural Center (lower level gallery). It is the Art Colony’s Teaching Artist Partnership, a two-year pilot program funded by the Massachusetts Cultural Council through the 2013-14 academic year. The program brings professional artist members of the Rocky Neck Art Colony into O’Maley Innovation Middle School as artists in residence, to enhance teaching objectives through the visual arts. The works on display tomorrow, presented by artists Gigi Mederos and teacher Brett Dunton, are papyrus made from celery, then painted in hieroglyphics to link with the students’ study of Egyptian culture.

This is a well attended event and a great way for artists to display their work.

Thank You,

‘June Artist Gallery at Lone Gull Coffee House Wings & Waves . Photo Art by Gloucester photographer, Michael Chamness features birds and scenery from beautiful Cape Ann.
My personal favorites are the baby swan- ‘Swannabe’ and Eastern Point Light and Breakwater!
Swan Symbolism: Animals were thought to be ‘power totems’ and messengers in Native American Folklore and Greek/Egyptian Mythology. The swan is thought to bear messages of love and relationships. They pair for a lifetime. When the swan glides upon the waters of our awareness, it might be a symbol of love, and a reminder of the blessings found in our relationships. ‘Swanabee’ was photographed in the pond across from Pebble Beach Rockport, MA. E.J. or Joey- I think this is Henry’s Pond. Can you confirm?
These photos will be on display the month of June. Let me know your favorite! Stop by for a cup of tea or iced coffee or one of Mary Ellen’s delicious pastries while enjoying the familiar and beautiful scenes of Cape Ann!’
Thanks Joey!

and there’s a female country singer (Holly Tucker).
She’s banging out her country song and I swear to god if you put a blindfold on me and rolled out 10 different country music female singers to sing songs there is no way I could differentiate one from another.
They all sound exactly alike.

Stripers Are In!!!
Hi Joey,
Mike Muniz holds up a striper he caught while fishing with his friend, Manny Silva, in Wonson Cove. Apparently this one was caught in water that was less than 5 feet deep!

Sailbots. You heard me sucka, SAILBOTS!!!!!
The SailBot 2013 International Robotic Sailing Regatta is a robotic sailing competition historically held in North America in which teams of university and college students compete. This year’s event takes place in Gloucester harbor! The goal is to create an unmanned sailboat that navigates through a variety of challenges with limited, if any, human control. Students are able to use this friendly competition between schools to apply their engineering knowledge in a multi-disciplinary task that requires mechanical, electrical, and software skill to deal with this highly variable environment. Teams are headquartered at Maritime Gloucester and races will occur off Pavillion Beach in the outer harbor. Project presentations will take place at Endicott College’s Gloucester campus.

The Latest Striper Video From Brianmoc
After one of the slowest May in years (10 years according to my logs) warmer winds and less rain brought bigger fish up river for Thursday, Friday, Saturday but not Sunday as the fish rested that day. Bait was herring dropping back but warm on Sunday. it got so warm we will be looking for the sand eels as bait in the coming weeks. Finicky fish all three days as the bass had all the bait they could eat and there heads where down pushing bait out of the marsh

Video Interview With June 2013 Goetemann Artist in Residence : Allison Hornak
Allison Hornak speaks about her Goeteman Residency On Rocky Neck. Check out her website to learn more about her work and her vision
Painting and building are my practice. I have devotion toward material, and I am as devoted to aerosol paints as I am to mud. All material is flesh and connotes promiscuously within society and nature. Then there is the problem of the impulse to order. As an artist I need to still stuff. Each piece acts as a halt—a submission, as a person, to the need to resist chaos. What chaos? Every artwork, every mark: a deceleration. Every one a breaking. Since, still, at the end of the day, at a turn, rupture is in the lull. This is my protest. I (am) matter too.

This is the view of Old Harbor from the top floor event/intermission area. One can go up there to eat and sip a glass of wine before the concert and during the intermission.
Here’s the view from our seats, and a wonderful performance by the Rockport High School Madrigal Choir. Seated nearby was Fr. Matthew Green, who has charmed us at holiday events singing Gregorian Chants. Rockport Music – Rockport, Massachusetts

Mark Godfried Memorial Tag A Tiny™ Bluefin Tournament
This year’s Tag A Tiny Bluefin Tournament will be held in memory of our dear friend Mark Godfried. The purpose of the tournament is to promote tagging research, raise funds for the Large Pelagic Research Center, and have an all around fun time! This year the tournament will take place from July 10-14. Everyone is welcome to join!
The Large Pelagics Research Center (LPRC), under the direction of Dr. Molly Lutcavage, is a premiere research program, focused on tunas and billfish. Based at the UMass Marine Station, Gloucester, MA, LPRC, with its tagging program, has helped identify migration routes, growth patterns, and potential spawning areas of Bluefin tuna. The tournament raises research funds to support the LPRC’s scientific investigations. Mark Godfried was a great friend and supporter of the Large Pelagics Research Center’s Bluefin research. His knowledge and passion for the species was only exceeded by his dedication to the Gloucester fishing industry. The 2013 tournament has been renamed the ‘Mark Godfried Memorial Tag A Tiny™ Bluefin Tournament’ to honor Mark’s lifetime of work.
Mark and the LPRC, aided by local fishermen, initiated the ‘Tag A Tiny™’ juvenile tagging program in 2006. Since then, over 1,258 anglers and captains have joined the Tag A Tiny™ effort, releasing over 1,645 juvenile Bluefin with conventional spaghetti tags. So far, anglers have recovered and returned over 38 conventional and archival data tags.
In 2008, Mark Godfried was instrumental in establishing the inaugural Tag A Tiny™ Bluefin Tournament. This tournament is unusual in that it follows a ‘tag and release’ methodology only, i.e., ‘no-kill’. Participants are rewarded with a unique trophy for the greatest number of fish tagged, rather than cash prizes.
Our goal is to have 50+ boats tagging fish during the four-day tournament. This non-profit event is financed through cash donations so that 100% of the tournament entry fee can be donated to The Large Pelagics Research Center. For more information on the LPRC’s research, visit http://www.tunalab.org.

A Preemptive Lobster Roll Refresher Course Before Anyone Gets All Crazy
I’m putting out this Lobster Roll PSA at the beginning of this lobster season to save chefs from making the horrible dastardly crimes against lobsterdom that so many make each year when they try to go all fancy with their lobster rolls.
One of our lobstermen, Dave Jewell’s boat was originally christened as the KISS. Chuck Kersey built it and explained the meaning behind the name-
KISS– Keep. It. Simple. Stupid.
What I will suggest to you is to take the name of the lobster boat which Chuck Kersey christened and apply it to your lobster rolls.
You don’t want to end up in the list of lobster roll debacles like the ones we’ve chronicled through the years here on GMG-
