Patti Keenan- Proud New Owner of the Latest Art Rock!
Patty Writes-
Dear Mr. Frontiero, aka "Paulie Walnuts"
I found the rock at the paint factory today at 2:15 pm. I’m still in shock. I never thought it would still be there at this hour. I have tried so many times and end up looking at an empty hole in the ground. I can’t express to you how happy you made today. And bless you for not making me climb that fence. Nobody needs to see that. I feel like a know you from GMG. All of you cub reporters are just great. Informative, Funny, Historical, and Creative. You all make me feel incredibly inadequate, but in a good way. Please do not stop participating on that site. You are an important and necessary ingredient in that recipe. I enjoy looking forward to it every day, You are so talented and I appreciate your gift of art combined with treasure hunting so much. I feel like I am part of a very elite group now. Thank You for taking the time to do the art rocks, and the video with the ringleader, Joey. I truly have a piece of Gloucester now. If there is ever anything I can do for you, please just ask.
So Very Sincerely, Patti Keenan

Anderson and the Andrew Bayness Funds of the Boston Foundation, invites artists to submit proposals for innovative collaborations with local businesses. PWA offers a unique opportunity for artists and businesses to explore creative relationships and develop innovative projects.
In the spring seARTS (date and location to be announced) will hold a public discussion where artists and partners will present the concept, development and execution of their projects. During the week of May 9 – 14 the five projects will be presented for the public to view and experience at several locations. Details will be available in April.

New exhibition to open at the Cape Ann Museum in March
The Cape Ann Museum will present a special exhibition of works by artist Alfred Czerepak (1928-1986). The Art of Al Czerepak will open with a reception on Saturday, March 5 and remain on display through May 29. The exhibition will include a wide range of works by this multi-talented artist and teacher including examples of his paintings, prints and wood carvingsdrawn from private collections throughout the area.
Czerepak was born in 1928 in Haverhill and received his formal art training in Boston immediately following World War II. He was introduced to Cape Ann, as many artists were, as a result of his training under Aldro Hibbard at what is now the Massachusetts College of Art and at Hibbard’s summer art school which was held in Rockport from 1920 to 1949. In Rockport, Czerepak quickly became part of a small but energetic group of young artists who were devoted to exploring new theories and techniques and to pushing the boundaries of Cape Ann’s largely conservative art colony.
Over the years, Czerepak became a well known and much loved member of Cape Ann’s art community. He maintained studios in Rockport and later at Reeds Wharf in East Gloucester. He exhibited his works widely including, during his early years in Rockport, with the Cape Ann Society of Modern Artists and later at the Rockport Art Association, the North Shore Art Association and numerous other galleries throughout the North Shore. Czerepak taught life drawing and sculpture courses at Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, inspiring a whole generation of artists who studied under him during his 15 years at the school.
Also on view is the special exhibition To Gather Together and Keep These Bonds: Highlights from the Permanent Collection. Docent-led tours will be offered every Friday and Saturday at 11:00 a.m. and on Sunday at 2:00 p.m. No reservations are required.
Funding for these programs is made possible through a grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency which promotes excellence, access, education and diversity in the arts, humanities and interpretive sciences, in order to improve the quality of life for all Massachusetts residents and to contribute to the economic vitality of our communities.
The Cape Ann Museum is located at 27 Pleasant Street in Gloucester. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Sundays from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Museum is closed during the month of February, on Mondays, and on major holidays. Admission is $8.00 adults, $6.00 Cape Ann residents, seniors and students. Children under 12 and Museum members are free. The Museum is wheelchair accessible. For more information please call: (978) 283-0455. Additional information can be found online at www.capeannmuseum.org
