Today’s update from the Mayor included the following regarding City Landings and Property Tax deadline This has been a topic of discussion and I thought you’d be interested:
New Updates & Information
• CITY LANDINGS: Effective immediately, until at least May 4, all City landings are restricted for use by emergency or commercial vessels only.
• PROPERTY TAX DEADLINE EXTENDED: Today Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken announced the City of Gloucester will extend its due date for property tax payments from May 1, 2020 to June 1, 2020. This new due date will also apply for applications for exemption and deferral, which were previously due April 1.

A huge shout out goes to Chad and his son Oscar. I spotted them from across the beach. Chad was methodically taking in tons of garbage and his little son’s blond curly head was bobbing along. When I got closer, I noticed Oscar had his own trash pick-up stick. Thank you Chad and Oscar for helping to keep Good Harbor Beach and the surrounding marsh and roadway clean of garbage.
I’ve mentioned my friend Karen Gorczyca and her husband Mark Andreasson from Design Communication Ltd., or DCL, because they recently began diverting resources in their fabrication facilities to making and producing Personal Protection Equipment parts and face shields. On Friday, they made a custom delivery to the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program (BHCHP) and donated 50 face shields that were made in their Avon facility.
I just think this is the best, manufacturing and employing people in Massachusetts, and with Heart!
Took a couple of photos when I had to do a work errand. This photo was taken 2.5 before high tide on Stacy Boulevard.



During the coronavirus pandemic, Jane Deering Gallery is continuing with virtual exhibitions. Our second virtual show opening April 13 is VANESSA MICHALAK | Green Space. All works can be viewed online at https://janedeeringgallery.com/exhibitions-jdg-gloucester-ma/vanessa-michalak-green-space/1. Green Space is derived from Michalak’s plein-air art show which was held in the woods of Gloucester’s Historic Dogtown on the 26th of October 2019. The paintings from that open-air show are now included in our virtual exhibition.
Vanessa Michalak earned an MFA (2013) from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston with a concentration in painting; and a BSN in nursing from the University of Maine in 2004. She was awarded the Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellowship in Painting in 2014 and her work was included in the publication New American Paintings #110. Her work has been included in the MFA National Competition, Juried by Asya Geisberg; First Street Gallery, New York, NY. She has also participated in numerous residencies, most notably Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass Village, Colorado; and PLAYA, in Summer Lake, Oregon.

As the pandemic has grown and more restrictions are put in place, we have become concerned about how the pandemic will affect this year’s Matz Gallery schedule including “Where Is It?” which is coming up in June. We have concluded that given all the confusion and insecurity about what will and what will not be open in the months ahead, it is better to cancel this year’s photo show. This is very disappointing because “Where Is It?” has been one of our most popular exhibitions since 2005. Every year this unique exhibit features photographs that showcase interesting and out of the way places in Gloucester, and we will miss it.
If you have submitted images for us to consider, we will keep your application materials for the 2021 “Where Is It?” Stay well in these strange and difficult times.
Thanks,
Christy Park
