Our Opening Weekend is Saturday January 21st (11-5pm) and Sunday January 22nd (1-4pm) to coincide with the 2nd Annual Gloucester So Salty. George Wingate opens the season with ‘Letters / Words / and.’ In the words of an artist friend, George is a postmodernist, a minimalist, a sculptor, a poet and an all over evocator. I would add he is a wordsmith; he invigorates the mind. Had I had a mentor like George in school, life and thoughts would have been richer.
Come whenever you can.
Come often during 2023; it’s Gloucester’s 400th and there will be lots to view.
The gallery welcomes all.
