NORTH SHORE ARTS ASSOCIATION HOSTS ROCKY NECK ART COLONY’S PRESIDENT AND ARTS/CONSERVATION ACTIVIST KAREN RISTUBEN IN SPECIAL PRESENTATION

“The Intersection of Marine Science, Conservation, Activism and Arts.”  This is the third offering of a series addressing the interconnection of the Arts and Sciences as part of NSAA’s “Art in Action – Connecting Communities” initiative for their 2016 season.

Saturday, July 23, 3 PM.  Open Free to the Public.

 Fascinated by the transparency and reflectivity of glass, and similarly those qualities in our ocean waters, highly regarded Arts and Environmental activist and major force for the growth of the arts on Cape Ann, Karen Ristuben will offer a dynamic look at the ways in which marine science, conservation, and the arts can positively impact each other.  Through photography, video, sound and performance with “environmental advocacy at the core” her goal is “to expand the efforts of scientists working on issues of ocean contamination and public health” and to stimulate interest, involvement and awareness in the general public.

By using the arts to present fascinating information about our ocean environment she believes that visual, sensory offerings provide an emotional experience allowing audiences to come away not only with new and interesting information, but also a desire to learn how they can make a difference.  Aesthetically compelling experiences can be transformational in stimulating individuals’ discovery that they can, in whatever way personally appeals to them, make a direct difference in the protection of our oceans and planet.

Karen Ristuben’s presentation promises to be not only an innovative educational experience, but also a stimulating and exciting melding of the Arts and Sciences.

Supporting Ocean Alliance’s mission to protect and preserve our oceans and marine life and North Shore Arts Association and Rocky Neck Art Colony’s mission of supporting the arts, an “Art Exhibition of the Sea and Science” continues through July 30 in the galleries of NSAA. Although works of all genres will be on display, the main focus will be works depicting the sea and Cape Ann.

The North Shore Arts Association’s galleries are open, free to the public, Monday through Saturday, 10 AM to 5 PM and Sunday, Noon to 5 PM.

More information on all North Shore Arts Association events is available by visiting their website at www.nsarts.org, and by email at arts@nsarts.org, or by telephone 978 283-1857.

Hans Pundt Summer Artist Exhibition
Gallery 53 on Rocky Neck

Show Dates: July 20 – August 9, 2016
Reception: SAT July 23, 6 to 8 pm

Gloucester resident and mixed media/assemblage artist Hans Pundt is the fourth Summer Artist in the Rocky Neck Art Colony’s Summer Artist Series at Gallery 53 on Rocky Neck. His show opens on Wednesday, July 20, and continues to August 9 with the opening reception on Saturday July 23, from 6-8 pm.

Pundt searches out the rich visuals found in the obscure and unusual. His creative spirit takes him on a journey that can be quirky, mystical, edgy, odd and fascinating, which is all reflected in his work along with a bit of fun. Every piece he creates tells a story and engages the viewer to use his or her own imagination to interpret the story.

He loves to use found objects in his collage and assemblage work, often combining the two mediums. He enjoys the hunt for materials, the tactile manipulation and construction of the piece and likes giving life back to found objects and discarded bits of paper.

Gallery 53 on Rocky Neck
53 Rocky Neck Avenue, Gloucester, MA 01930

Gallery hours
Sun – Thurs 10:00 AM-6:00 PM, Fri and Sat 10:00AM – 8:00 PM

The Evolution of Architecture in Gloucester

Architecture Walking Tours at the Cape Ann Museum

The Cape Ann Museum is pleased to present a new addition to its popular outdoor walking tours. The Evolution of Architecture in Gloucester will take place on Sunday, July 24 at 2:00p.m.

 Downtown Gloucester boasts a variety of architectural styles, often alternating from one house to the next. This historical architecture tour will introduce participants to those building styles from the mid-18th to the mid-20th century. Participants will learn to distinguish key architectural elements that grew out of the socio-economic and cultural changes in Gloucester that took place during this 200 year period. After this tour you’ll find it hard not to notice the diversity offered in Cape Ann’s building styles and what they reveal about the community during different time periods.

This walking tour is offered in conjunction with this summer’s special exhibition, Design/Build: The Drawings of Phillips & Holloran, Architects which runs through October 9, 2016.

All walking tours begin in front of the Cape Ann Museum. Guided walking tours are held rain or shine and last about 1½ hours; participants should be comfortable being on their feet for that amount of time. $10 Museum members; $20 nonmembers (includes Museum admission). Space is limited; reservations required. Call (978)283-0455 x10 or email info@capeannmuseum.org for details. Tickets can also be purchased online at Eventbrite.

This walking tour is also offered on Friday, August 5 at 10:00a.m.

Jeff and his crew have deep roots in the fishing community if #GloucesterMA.  He knows when a critical piece of equipment goes down in the offloading process that it will be a major hit to the port. 

The boom goes down  and within an hour Jeff came down to measure stock and had his crew on the job to get us back up running.  A crisis situation is a whole lot less stressful when you have a company like J&L on your side.   Thank you Jeff and company.
