Central Street Gallery (CSG) will be holding an inventory clearance until Christmas Eve featuring 20% off selected works. On December 31st, the Central Street Gallery (CSG) will be leaving its gallery space and transitioning to an online presence and future satellite shows. CSG has spent a wonderful eight and a half years at its present location at 11 Central Street in Manchester-by-the-Sea.
CSG will continue on with an online presence via its website www.centralstreetgallery.com, its electronic newsletter, Facebook and will retain its phone number – 978-526-7650. It will also be an active participant in the annual Festival by the Sea and other art-related events in town, e.g. paint-outs, quick draw competitions.
Central Street Gallery would like to thank the community for its support and patronage over these years. The Gallery opened in 2008 just two months before the economy took a significant downturn. Despite these challenges,the gallery not only survived but thrived. The fourteen artist members are very grateful for the opportunity they have had to display and sell their work in a community that has a deep appreciation for the arts. The decision to close CSG’s doors has not been an easy one, however, the sale of the building earlier this year moved the decision forward.
Please stop by to say good-by and to make sure that you are on our mailing list. In addition to the work displayed in the current show, the artists will have additional pieces of work at very attractive prices. For more information, please go to: www.centralstreetgallery.com or call: 978-526-7650.

“We Need a Hero” Closing Party & Panel Discussion at Flatrocks Gallery
Nov. 20th 3pm
A creative renaissance is occurring in a medium that had been mired in triviality for generations. Graphic novels – i.e. comics – have become a serious art form in the 21st Century. Comics are about connection. They express intense personal experiences while challenging cultural ideologies and precepts. Comics create meaning by sewing together fragments of data in fragmented times when data is everywhere. Employing the symbols and icons of popular culture, these artists build visions at once universal and deeply personal.
On Sunday, November 20th at 3pm, Flatrocks Gallery will host closing party and panel discussion with the participating artists in its current exhibition, We Need a Hero.
The artists participating in the We Need a Hero show will offer insight into the cultural importance of visual art, and the exploding phenomenon of graphic/comic book art as a means of expression in today’s complex world. Please join Jess Semeraro, Andrew Houle, Greg Orfanos, David Leblanc, Mark Hoffmann, Michael Crockett, and Kurt Ankeny for a lively discussion and a celebration.

Voicing the Woods
An exhibition of Jeremy Adams’s organs and harpsichords
On View at the Cape Ann Museum October 22, 2016 through February 26, 2017
A public opening reception will be held at the Museum on Saturday, October 22 from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.
Voicing the Woods: Jeremy Adams, Instrument Maker showcases the prodigious skills and artistry of Jeremy Adams, one of the most gifted musical instrument makers in New England. The exhibition, which will be held in the Cape Ann Museum’s 1,500 square foot special exhibitions gallery, will include a one-stop chamber organ, a demonstration organ chest, a 1995 clavichord and a selection of harpsichords, each built in its entirety by Adams in his Danvers, Massachusetts workshop. In addition to the instruments that will be shown in the gallery, a selection of Adams’s furniture will be displayed in the Museum’s 1804 Captain Elias Davis House, offering an interesting contrast to the period furniture in the House.
A keyboard player from early childhood, Jeremy Adams took his formal training with Roland Sturgis, Gregory Tucker and Melville Smith at the Longy School of Music in Cambridge. In the 1960s, an auspicious time for early music enthusiasts, Adams entered into a six-year apprenticeship at William Dowd’s Cambridge harpsichord shop, where he gained recognition for his skills as a musician and quickly developed his hand as a fine woodworker. (Dowd had established his workshop in the 1950s with harpsichord maker Frank Hubbard, engaging with the international movement to revive historic practices of performance and instrument building.) In the two years following his harpsichord apprenticeship, Adams honed his skills in reed voicing and tonal finishing in an organ building apprenticeship at the Gloucester workshop of Charles Fisk, working on signature instruments at Old West Methodist in Boston and Harvard University, among others. In 1969 Adams opened his own workshop on the North Shore.
Adams’s harpsichords, clavichords and pipe organs can be found in public and private collections around the world, including the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston; the Sapporo Episcopal Cathedral and the Kyoto Fukkatu Kyokai (Kyoto Episcopal Church) in Japan; Roxbury Latin School in West Roxbury, MA; the Waring School in Beverly, MA; Maple Street Congregational Church in Danvers, MA; and the Annisquam Village Church in Gloucester, MA. Restorations and expansions of existing instruments include work on Martha’s Vineyard and in Barbados.
The design and construction of Adams’s furniture and objets d’art evolved, in part, from the refined casework required by the musical instruments, and in part from a lifelong interest in painting and sculpture. The intersection of these elements has led to commissions from clients far and near, and to exhibitions with the Jane Deering, Found and Oasis galleries, as well as representation in a competition at the Wharton Esherick Museum in Pennsylvania.
Photographs by Paul Cary Goldberg complement the instrument exhibit and document Adams’s studio and work process, highlighting some of the exquisite detail and workmanship on individual pieces and underscoring the breadth and volume of his work.

The show features paintings by Mark Hoffmann, Michael Crockett, Andrew Houle, David Leblanc, Greg Orfanos, and book art by Sean Randolph, Kurt Ankeny, and Jess Semeraro.

We are announcing the exciting news of the opening of the World Family Puppet Theatre here in Gloucester!
The most recent venture of a continuous thread of multicultural arts programming for children for 39 years, since 1978, this endeavor seeks to instill in Cape Ann children a love for their world neighbors through engaging puppetry workshops which brings world cultures alive through their beloved folktales. Rob Newton, proprietor of the Cape Ann Cinema & Stage, has lovingly embraced the idea of a fun and educational puppetry experience at his theater at 21 Main Street in the West End of downtown Gloucester for the children of the Cape Ann area.
Know as “Dora the International Explorer”, Dora has brought an astonishing 35,000 programs, from International Festivals to Afterschool Programs to Teacher Trainings to Traveling Cultural Resource Kits to families, schools, libraries and the community of Cape Ann, and Massachusetts since 1978, earning her and the mother Ethnic Arts Center the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Service Award from the City of Somerville.
On the forefront of multicultural programming for children in the Boston area, Dora has presented her programs to Cape Ann for the past twenty years, including the Spar and Spindle Girl Scouts, Rockport New Years Eve, and Essex, Beverly, Hamilton, Peabody, Rockport, and Gloucester schools, preschools, museums, and libraries. What motivates her to work with local children, is a “friendship based model” a “microcosm” of the world where children actively take part in a teamwork setting. Ancient tales contain the truths of how a problem can be solved peaceably. Creating and bringing alive puppets incorporates all the arts and proves that magic still exists.
Two puppetry classes-one for preschoolers and one for school-age children will be offered, beginning on October 12. Cultural theme Birthday Parties will also be available, including the celebration of Sicily, and Finland, amongst other local cultures. No child will be turned away due to financial constraints or special needs.
At no other time in our country’s history has such a need existed-to inculcate the love for our fellow man. Dora cites three of her mentors who have influenced her the most: Leo Tolstoy, Mahatma Ghandi, and Martin Luther King. Here is a treasure tucked away in our intimate Cape Ann Cinema & Stage, just waiting for the local children to embrace.
