Art Haven Childrens Pirate Parade For The Block Party

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

from Dawn Gadow-

PIRATE ACTIVITY AT ART HAVEN

GLOUCESTER, MA—Cape Ann Art Haven needs a crew: A pirate crew.

To go along with this weekend’s downtown block party, Art Haven will be offering kids the opportunity to become a pirate, eye patch and all. From 5:00-7:00 the Art Haven staff will be in the Main Street studio with supplies to help kids make their own eye patch, sword and bandanna. They’ll also have the opportunity to join the rest of the crew in creating a pirate mural on a real ship sail.

Following a time of artwork and creativity, students will then have their own pirate parade down Main Street at 7:00 to show off their new outfits. This event is free and open to the public; anyone is welcome to join in.

While at the Art Haven studio, children will have a final chance to register for summer programs starting on June 29, including Mural Painting and Darkroom Photography classes.  For more information about Art Haven’s summer programs, visit www.arthaven.org or call 978-283-3888

Go See- Shoes

Due to this terrible recession and depression, the Mayor of Gloucester had a bright idea to cheer up the citizenry: She asked the Governor of Massachusetts to temporarily release Mr. O’Connor from the Funny Farm in order that Mr. O’Connor be able to perform his One Man Show of  humor and stories about Ireland and Life. Mr. O’Connor is a direct descendant of The Last High King of Ireland, whose legacy left a dark mark in allowing the English into Ireland all because of a piece of *&^%$. Due to not having done a show in a long time [ever], Mr. O’Connor asked the Mayor if he could bring along a few of his mates from the Funny Farm in order that they may help him feel more confident and not so alone on stage. Mr. O’Connor’s friends, Paddy The Rat, Spud Murphy, Dick Reily and Marty Nolan, will be present among the audience (a mug shot of these lads is presently on display at the local police department). We feel it is important to have Mr. O’Connor’s friends here to help maintain a sense of order due to past experiences where civil disorder and rioting has broke out during Mr. O’Connor’s performances.

A word of warning: Mr. O’Connor has been known to have made a pact with the Devil so it’s important to say your confessions with your local priest as Mr. O’Connor has been known to corrupt the purest of minds that even Nick himself has been extremely mortified and will most likely be out of a job by the time this show is over. Past records indicate that the divorce rates have skyrocketed in town due to the women and men dancing naked down the street to the great Irish music. If you have a hard time locating the theatre, it will be easily be seen by Mr. O’Connors’ donkey and cart outside the entrance way of the theatre. Also in company with his donkey will be his donkey’s friend “Mc Ginty” the goat. One must be careful not to feed these creatures as they have been known to snap the fingers off people. Other than that they are charming to look at.

Chickity Check It!- L A Dahlmer

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Brenda Malloy sent me the link to Larry Dahlmer’s website-

From the site-

Recollections of my life on the island and the heritage of the fishing industry from the days of Champlain, through my art.

Dedicated to the growing family tree of Dahlmer’s, and motivated with the idea of capturing the essence of what fishing “out of Gloucester” has meant for the last 400 years.

Grandfather John Dahlmer brought the newly-launched Margaret D. to Gloucester from Charlevoix, Michigan in 1911.

He, brother Lawrence and son Ronald sailed her along the same route that  had brought  many new families from the Lakes to Gloucester the previous year.

The hundredth anniversary approaches, Gloucester changes, as the world. In the coming years I will show  a reflection of what has passed in just a couple of generations.

Arley Pett’s Beautiful Old School Gloucester Map Coasters At Alexandra’s Bread

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Every time I go into Alexandra’s bread I’m astounded by all the cool stuff in there.  It’s not just bread either.  I hesitate to say that Alexandra’s talents are almost wasted in this space because I’d hate to see her go, but really she ought to be a buyer for a huge store.  She has assembled the coolest collections of things like Arley Pett’s 1899 Gloucester Map Coasters.

Jay Albert-Creator Of Cape Ann Images

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Jay swung by the dock and took me for a quick ride through Smith Cove (Rocky Neck) past the North Shore Art Association, Beacon Marine, and all the way around past the restaurants, boats and Marine Railway. Jay has a bad ass 300mm zoom lens and it was fun fooling around with that for a bit.  I have major lens/camera envy.  I take pretty decent photographs but can only imagine how much better they could be with a good camera like Jays.

I made a three part video series which will debut tonight at 8PM
