Rockport Art Association 1960s Summer Dances

I was recently at the Rockport Art Association for the seARTS annual meeting.

As I headed back to the Art building in the back, old memories passed through my head.

Even though it was cold and rainy, the memories of warm summer nights, heading down to Rockport, to attend the RAA dances.   Back then it was a great opportunity for locals to meet kids from out-of-state, who were vacationing with their parents.  Some of those memories are another story. 

It was amazing that they trusted us in the beautiful surroundings of all that art.

This video clip shows some of the local art today, recommend going down and taking a look, and a clip of how teenagers danced in the 60’s.  If you recognize yourself in the video, you may want to keep it to yourself at least that is my intention.

Enjoy a blast from the past.

Joey Ciaramitaro conducted three interviews for GoodMorningGloucester, these are snippets from those interviews.  The purpose was just to take some basic photographs and video to document the event.

W. G. Brown’s Department Store

I was in the Cape Ann Historical Museum on 27 Pleasant Street, doing a project and came across a painting I had not seen in years.  W. G. Brown’s Department store was the place to buy that special gift, and hanging on the wall was this massive painting of the owner.

In the museum library, there it was on the wall where I was taking photos of old Captains Courageous books.  I extend many thanks to Rhonda Faloon and Stephanie Bucks who have helped me so much the past few days.

I thought I would share with your readers.
