The Gloucester 400+ and ROBBERSDAUGHTER are excited to present this inclusive, all ages art programming exploring the botany of Gloucester through natural dyeing.

Led by local artist Maia Mattson, this art programming weaves together community connection with the unique natural environment that surrounds us on Cape Ann. In these classes we will be using botanical materials exclusively sourced and foraged from Gloucester. Using these materials we will practice a variety of natural dyeing techniques and quilting design. Participants will have the opportunity to make their own 2’x3′ ft flag using the naturally dyed fabric. Participants can work in teams to design and create their flags or make their own. Toward the end of the art series we will facilitate a reception showcasing the work of the participants. All experience levels welcome, we will learn and experiment together! All classes will be hosted at the Gloucester 400+ Office at 123 Main St.

Bold & Balanced

The kitchen is more than a place to prepare meals, it’s where families come together. It’s a place for guests to gather, and where memories are created. When designing this kitchen, our primary focus was on selecting the right materials and colors.

In honor of Gloucester’s 400th Anniversary, you are invited to join in a special musical performance on Friday evening, October 27th at halftime during the Gloucester High School football team’s final home game of the season!

Gloucester City Councilor Jeff Worthley has organized a fun performance of the Gloucester High School Band, O’Maley Middle School Band and their guests. The High School and Middle School bands have been practicing and will be ready to welcome 50 additional local musicians who can capably play the four chosen songs to join them. The expectation is that local musicians will commit to joining the students, download the respective musical parts, practice on their own and join in a brief pre-game rehearsal on the Newell Stadium bleachers at 6 pm.

At halftime, the GHS and O’Maley bands will take the field with alumni and other Gloucester musicians to entertain the home crowd with some fan favorites including the GHS Fight Song. Gloucester High School Music Director Cole Lundquist, O’Maley Middle School Music Director Carlos Menezez, City wide Elementary band and interim O’Maley Middle School Music Director Jaime Klopotoski, Former Gloucester Schools Music Director, Cape Ann Community Band and former Cape Ann Symphony Manager Dave Benjamin as well as Gloucester fan favorite and organizer of the Gloucester Fish Cakes Paula Burns are extending this invitation to their networks with hopes of a lively performance!

Parents of these groups will be getting information shortly. Getting the word out to other local musicians is the biggest challenge at this point so please help us spread the word. For local musicians wanting to join in this musical tribute, contact GHS Music Director Cole Lundquist at 978- 281-9870 or Jeff Worthley at 978-836-0423.

Elena M. Sarni is a humanities-based scholar, writer, and curator. Her new book, Trailblazing Women Printmakers: Virginia Lee Burton Demetrios and the Folly Cove Designers, documents and celebrates the group’s tremendous success and the incredible artistry of its members, pulling from the Cape Ann Museum’s comprehensive collection of the Designers and from other collection sources.   

The Folly Cove Designers (officially 1941-1969) was a grassroots collective of predominantly women block printers founded by Caldecott Award-winner and beloved children’s book author/illustrator Virginia Lee Burton Demetrios (of Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel fame). This trailblazing Gloucester based group produced more than three hundred distinct designs, which they block printed on fabric. The designs conveyed personal and regional narratives through the use of shared design principles and the compelling language of pattern. The group was propelled to international fame through commercial contracts with major retailers (F. Schumacher, Lord & Taylor, etc.), articles in leading periodicals such as Life, and participation in seminal fine craft exhibitions. Their work continues to inspire contemporary printmakers around the globe, particularly women printmakers.

With more than 250 black-and-white and color photographs, author Elena M. Sarni explores the Folly Cove Designers’ history, work, and group dynamics. Sarni holds a BA in English and an MA in History and Museum Studies from the University of New Hampshire. She lives in Maine with her beloved cat Leland.
