Hi Joey-
I hope you are enjoying a well deserved vacation!
I wanted to share my great experience with Tiny Planet Computer on Rogers Street. I recently ran into some issues adding a new email account from a remote server to my laptop. Steve Day walked me through the issues, explaining things along the way so I could trouble shoot on my own in the future. He never made me feel inept as sometimes happens when seeking tech counsel. He also helped sync the account to my phone and ensured they were playing well together! The service fee was reasonable and my issues were quickly addressed. Nice guy, great local company. I highly recommend Tiny Planet if you need technology/computer expertise.
Thanks, Joey.
Liz Dooley

About the Rocky Neck Art Colony

The crown jewel of Gloucester’s harbor community, Rocky Neck is a peninsula surrounding Smith Cove.
It is home to mostly year-round residents and has a thriving summertime population of artists, art galleries
and restaurants, and the Rocky Neck Art Colony, one of the oldest working art colonies in the United States and a 501(c)3 arts organization since 1973. Rocky Neck recently became one of the first five “Designated Massachusetts Cultural Districts” in the state of Massachusetts; this designation denotes past traditions and contemporary vibrancy along with the area’s orientation towards a local creative economy. The mission of the Rocky Neck Art Colony is to nurture excellence in the visual arts and to celebrate the artistic culture of Rocky Neck and the entire Cultural District.

Local Cape Ann buses and seasonal trolleys serve the area and the Gloucester Harbor Water Shuttle makes it easy to visit East Gloucester by water.

The Rocky Neck Art Colony has a noteworthy past; almost every American artist of note has painted on Rocky Neck at some point in his or her career – Milton Avery, Bernard Chaet, Stuart Davis, Marsden Hartley, Mark Rothko, Cecilia Beaux, Fern Coppedge, Adolph Gottleib, Childe Hassam, Emile Gruppe, Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, Fitz Henry Lane, Frederick Mulhaupt, John Sloan and others.
