North Shore Arts Association is excited to collaborate with the Rocky Neck Cultural District Partners to celebrate art on Cape Ann every Thursday night in July and August for the Culture Splash between 4 – 8 PM. During Thursday’s extended hours come experience free artist demonstrations starting at 6 PM by extremely talented, well-known artists.
We are thrilled to welcome NSAA’s local award-winning artist Jude Abbe, who is giving an oil painting demo this Thursday, July 21, 2022, at 6:00 PM. Jude is going to focus on how light plays a major role in still life painting by showing how light interacts with the subject. She hopes that her demo will inspire new and experienced artists alike to “look at things differently”.
“There’s nothing better than seeing art being created live.” – Jude Abbe

Cape Ann Artisans Announce Summer Mini-Tour Participants
Visit Studios on the first day of MA Sales Tax Holiday
Cape Ann summers bring many visitors to Gloucester and Rockport and the Cape Ann Artisans are pleased to welcome everyone into their studios for a mid-summer event called the Mini-Tour. For this special event on Saturday, August 13th, nine studios will be participating between the hours of 10AM and 5PM.
The tour is “self-guided” and visitors can start anywhere they wish. However, planning is encouraged and the online map is a good guide to make the most of the day. A special Mini-Tour rack card shows the participating studios. The CAA encourages visitors to do some advance planning to maximize their visit by using the CAA map which is now available at all the tourism outlets and online. You will find brochures at the Cape Ann Chamber, North of Boston CVB on 95 South, Stage Ft. Park Visitors Center, local banks, and CAA partner locations. You can visit these studios on August 13th and enjoy a Sales Tax holiday with retail items up to $2500.

Our friend Joey took advantage of our absence from the podcast recently to throw some shade my way regarding Keith the Wreath and his new Instagram account (@KeithIsAWreath). To fill in the story a bit, Keith the Wreath is a little gimmick I was using to show familiar Gloucester sights and stories with a new twist. He has a bit of a following here on GMG as well as in my own Facebook world, so I created his own Instagram account as a creative outlet. I hope you will show Joey Keith’s popularity by giving it a follow on Instagram. Believe it or not, “Keith The Wreath” was already taken (someone beat me to it) so search for KeithIsAWreath on Instagram to watch his adventures. Please!
Also, just because I am who I am, I had to take Keith a step further and now Aretha is in the mix as a childhood friend of Keith’s. They will have some distinct preferences and you will be seeing them together on adventures here on the blog as well as on Instagram! So, Keith is large and brilliant red; Aretha is smaller and sparkling blue. They make very pretty pictures together.
Gloucester Biotechnology Academy has announced a new financial structure to support young adults’ investment in their futures. Through the generous support of donors, tuition and fees will be waived in their entirety for the Academy’s incoming class of 2023. In addition, qualifying students will receive stipends to help support their living expenses.
The Academy trains young adults for professional careers as life sciences laboratory technicians. Students spend seven months of hands-on learning in a state-of-the-art teaching facility located in Gloucester’s Blackburn Center, followed by a three-month paid internship at a biotech company in Boston, Cambridge, or the North Shore.
Spaces are still available for the incoming class of 2023, with start dates in both August and November. The program is open to students between the ages of 18 and 30 with a high school diploma or equivalent —…

Dear Joey at Good Morning Gloucester.
Love reading your view about life on the dock.
Wanted to share with you a couple of Cape Ann history blog posts I recently completed that I think you might find interesting:
This one is about the cursed Gloucester fishing schooner “hoodoo ship” Charles Haskell:
and the second one is about the Depression-era “Rockport Maniac” unsolved murders:
Keep up the good work!
Can we get these at Licka Locka?
We’re gonna need to do a thorough taste test review on the next GloucesterCast.
