East Gloucester Elementary School Auction For The Arts March 26th!
East Gloucester Elementary School is holding an Auction for the Arts on March 26th from 7pm to 10:30pm at Cruiseport Gloucester. Tickets are $20 at the door. Proceeds will go toward a dedicated art room and expanded art programming at the school. The theme is inspired by Virginia Lee Burton, Cape Ann’s venerated children’s book author and designer, who lived and worked in Folly Cove.

Further information:
EGS parents have organized a benefit auction for expanded art facilities and programming for their school. “When we realized that the budget for art at our school was less than $3 per student per year, we knew we had to act,” said auction committee member Nicole Bogin. Parents are hopeful that the proceeds will lay the groundwork for financing the building of a dedicated art room- “a space where kids can get immersed in long term projects and where community members can offer after school programs,” says Bogin..
The benefit, which includes both live and silent auctions, aims to pull together East Gloucester Elementary School’s resources. Says organizer Melanie Murray-Brown, “East Gloucester School is a place where art and community can come together. We’re drawing on Virginia Lee Burton for inspiration: she’s someone who embodied the merging of community, art, children and a sense of place.” Indeed, a dedicated “army” of parent volunteers, EGS teachers and staff, local artists, alumni, individuals and businesses as well as a donation from Cape Ann Savings Bank, have all come together to make this year’s auction both enjoyable and successful.
The auction includes unique items and experiences to bid on. There will be art and classes featuring local artists, writers and film-makers; gift certificates to local shops and restaurants; memberships to local organizations; and many surprises. Murray-Brown notes that there “is something for everyone — sail trips, oil deliveries, art.” Live music by Wheelhouse, delicious food provided by Duckworth Beach Gourmet and Turner’s Seafood, as well as lively banter from auctioneer Senator Bruce Tarr, promise to make this an entertaining evening. Please visit www.egscharityauction.blogspot.com for a preview of this exciting event.

Judy Robinson Show Rockport Arts Association
Made it to the Judy Robinson solo show at the Rockport Arts Association this Sunday amidst the rain. White wine, salmon on cucumber and cheese doodles that looked like popcorn, my kind of snacks.
Here are two in the show for a sneak peek. One had a sign underneath that said you could touch the artwork. The other said “Do Not Touch!” Which do you think? (Just Click.) Even if my hands weren’t covered in cheese doodles I would not have dared to try to peel off a paint chip … 8)
A cool show that will be there until the 26th. Lots of Fort Point, Birdseye, the Paint Factory. My birthday present is still hanging in the middle gallery. I might have to get a sump pump as a belated birthday present instead.

How to Paint a Chair and Thoughts on Painting
“How to Paint a Chair, a Work in Progress and My Thoughts on Painting.”
By Debbie Clarke
“Art is really a battlefield. Only when he no longer knows what he is doing, does the painter do good things.”
Edgar Degas, French Impressionist
Some music that I want for my studio archive: Sade. have always loved her work, and ’soldiers of art’ are ’soldiers of love’, in that if you are called to make art, you will make art for a very demanding mistress. a lover that will have no one between, that will wake you when you want sleep, that will delay you when you have appointments, that will make you not feel ‘well’ when you are not dancing with the muse. and muse seems too nice a word. dancing with a muse is neither romantic nor poetic. it is a hungry ghost in need of a door into this realm of reality. and when she truly decides to dance with, then through you, it is better than an orgasm.
the muse doesn’t dance every day, she is fickle in her love, and never obediant. i spend most of my days in the practice of seeing and drawing, so my hands, eyes, and heart are ready, whenever she decides to come, because that is her nature.
Here’s Debbies Interesting Video on How to Paint a Chair.
She filmed it with camera in one hand and brush in the other.
