The Rocky Neck Art Colony proudly presents Phyllis FeldโA Retrospective, a three-day exhibition curated by Dina Gomery, showcasing the works of Phyllis Feld (1941โ2023) at Cove Gallery, 37 Rocky Neck Ave.
Phyllis Feld, a Gloucester resident, worked from her studio overlooking the inspiring Cripple Cove. An award-winning artist and cherished member of the Cape Ann arts community, Phyllis passed away suddenly in May 2023 at the age of 81, leaving works in progress and dreams of new creations. She loved painting en plein air, finding the experience both challenging and โliberating.โ
A perfectionist with high standards, Phyllis brought the same dedication to her art as she did to her career as a space designer. Her oil paintings are known for their fine detail, tonal depth, and atmospheric quality. She was an active member of the Rocky Neck Art Colony, North Shore Arts Association, Gallery 53 (now The Salted Cod), Central Street Gallery in Manchester-by-the-sea, and the Marblehead and Concord Art Associations.
This retrospective offers an opportunity to honor Phyllis’s memory, celebrate her legacy, and reflect on her contributions to the artistic community. The gallery will be open during Columbus Day weekend, October 12, 13 and 14, from noon to 6 PM, with a reception on Sunday from 3-6 PM.

Announcing Cape Ann GuitarFest 2024! Join us for a celebration of guitar music to be held at Windhover Center for the Performing Arts, on September 28th, 2024, from 12:00 to 9:30 pm. Mariachi, Blues, Classical, American Primitive, and Malian Griot are all on the program, featuring local, regional, and national performers. In addition to the performances, there will be two workshops for guitarists, in Jazz and American Primitive styles.
The versatility of the guitar will be on full display at Cape Ann GuitarFest as a solo instrument, ensemble member, and vehicle for storytelling and song. Cape Ann Guitar Societyโs purpose is to elevate local guitarists as well as to connect with the global guitar family, and we are thrilled to present this diverse array of musicians under the big tent at Windhover.
Festival Program
Workshops:
12 pm: Steve Lacey jazz guitar – Chord/scale relationships, common chord progressions and voicing, practice routines
1 pm: Nick Schillace, fingerstyle guitar, John Fahey and the American Primitive style.ย
Mariachi Guadalajara en Boston is New Englandโs premiere Mariachi ensemble, playing parties, shows, and concerts throughout the region.
Classical guitarist Brendan Evans has performed, taught, and won awards throughout North America and around the world. A Rockport, Massachusetts native, Brendan performs and teaches locally and internationally, is the founder of the Cape Ann Guitar Society, and enjoys playing in various groups, including the original project Nightowls. Brendan holds a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in classical guitar performance from the Oberlin and San Francisco Conservatories. While pursuing his undergraduate degree Brendan spent a year studying flamenco guitar in the cities of Granada and Cordoba, Spain.
Gloucester resident Bill Gleason has been playing guitar all of his life. He is self taught, and used to hang out in DinkyTown Minneapolis with Bob Dylan before he was famous.
An early devotee of traditional American guitar styles, Nick Schillace began studying fingerpicking techniques at the Augusta Heritage Workshop in West Virginia with artists including John Jackson, John Cephas, Steve James, Roy Book Binder, Del Ray, and many others shortly after picking up a guitar in 1984. Nick spent a decade adapting these techniques to acoustic and electric guitar, and later banjo, before entering the music program at Wayne State University, ultimately earning a masters degree with a focus on 20th Century American music identity.
Centering his research on the late guitarist and composer John Fahey, Nick explored the intersection of folk and vernacular influences and how these influences develop into a cultivated style for artists. This research still informs the way he approaches his own music, as well as his work as an educator via Orion Music Studio and Detroit Folk Workshop.
Griot singer, guitarist, drummer, songwriter and storyteller Boubacar Diabate from Bamako, Mali comes from the Mande lineage and has combined traditional rhythms with modern influences to create his own style of contemporary Malian Griot music presenting his own compositions and arrangements, singing and playing guitar with his group, SambaLolo. Singing in Bambara and Manding, Boubacar Diabate and SambaLolo create a performance that spans the full spectrum of Traditional to Contemporary Malian music from West Africa combined with Blues, Jazz, Reggae and Bluegrass – Bouba sings of our common shared experience of love, life and humanity, giving all an opportunity to hear the age-old West African tradition of Griot storytelling through song.
Cape Ann Guitar Society is dedicated to building and nurturing a community of listening and learning through guitar related concerts, workshops, and meetups. As a maritime center, Cape Annโs culture is inherently diverse, and we seek out, represent, and learn from that diversity through the guitar. The Guitar Society amplifies local voices and brings visiting artists and teachers to Cape Ann, connecting our local communities with the global guitar family – music as cultural diplomacy. We seek to expand the repertoire through commissioning projects and collaborations with other local arts and historical organizations.
Windhover Center for the Performing Arts is a performing arts center serving the greater Cape Ann region by creating and nurturing community through sharing the experience of the arts. In addition to public performances of dance, theater and music, we offer classes, workshops, yoga and meditation retreats, and opportunities for community conversations about issues that matter.
Windhover offers sanctuary and shelter โ for the audience under the huge tent that now covers the stage and audience area, and for performers, directors and choreographers to work together in creative collaboration through week-long residencies.

When shown in its entirety, Stringing Good Harbor is a 30-foot-long drawing using a piece of string the length of Good Harbor Beach, one of my favorite spots in Gloucester. Depending on the tide, the beach is about 2000โ long. Six of the drawingโs nine panels will be at JDG, along with a nine-foot โthumbnailโ to show the whole image. Technically the drawing is a print, made with string, Knox gelatin, and ink.
In addition to her keen curatorial eye, Jane believes in building community. With roots in Gloucester, she also has a gallery presence in Santa Barbara, London, and Concord, MA. Previously I did two installations at JDG@The Shed – one showing Stringing Good Harbor in its full length, and a later installation for a different project, Beautiful Just the Way You Are.
