Good Morning Gloucester

This hungry tree that has seemingly swallowed its street sign has intrigued me for years.  I think it screams “children’s book”….I might just have to get on that.

This year he will get a federal credit for $10,000 as well as a state credit for $1500

What people may or may not understand is that there have been mandates to get states to get to certain percentages of green energy use and they are practically giving away these programs to try to get to those numbers.  These credits and incentives are not going to last forever so you’d be foolish not to take advantage while they are available. Once the cat is out of the bag those incentives will most likely be cut in half or go away entirely.

NORTH SHORE ARTS ASSOCIATION, LOCATED IN EAST GLOUCESTER, MA, A FAVORITE PAINTING VENUE OF ARTIST LEGENDS WINSLOW HOMER, EDWARD HOPPER and FITZ HENRY LANE, CELEBRATES ITS “Year of The Artist!” WITH AN EXCITING JURIED, THIRD MEMBERS’ SHOW OF THE 2015 SEASON. Thursday, July 2 through Saturday, July 25. OPEN FREE TO THE PUBLIC.

Honoring its founding artists Theresa Bernstein, Frederick Mulhaupt, and Hugh Breckenridge among many others, and 9 decades of groundbreaking exhibitions, the artists of the North Shore Arts Association continue to offer a stunning display of their oil, graphics, watercolor, and sculpture works in their third major exhibition of the 2015 season. These NSAA artists, national award winners in every medium, invite you to join them in celebrating “The Year of The Artist!”.

The historic North Shore Arts Association opens an exciting Artist Members’ Small Works Exhibit, July 30 – August 29, and offers its First Juried Associate Members’ Show of the 2015 Season, August 6 – August 29.   Receptions for both the Small Works and Associate Members’ Exhibits will be held Sunday, August 23, 1 – 3 pm.   Refreshments served.  Open and free to the public.

Many giants of the art world including Rembrandt, Van Gogh and Vermeer painted much treasured and highly prized small art works.  The appeal of small works is manifold with flexible display options:  the work can be clustered in and around other pieces; or placed in tiny, sometimes awkward spaces; or hung in discreet groupings, and easily placed on small easels atop a side table, and often lower price points are also an advantage.  The main appeal, however, is to enjoy an intimate and condensed expression of the artist’s focused vision.

Come join the North Shore Arts Association as it celebrates its “Year Of The Artist!” with a Small Works members exhibition and Associate Members Show.

“Three Artists, Three Unique Demonstrations”  will be a special demonstration and discussion of three unusual painting techniques.  Saturday, July 25, 10:30 am at North Shore Arts Association.  Open and free to the public.

 Essex artist Susan Guest-MacPhail will discuss mixed media and demonstrate Gelli Plate printing that requires no presses, special inks or paper.

 Gloucester artist Susan Daly is working with new mediums in Acrylic painting that create a variety of matte and glossy finishes and textures.  These new techniques have earned her recent awards.

 Gloucester artist Trudy Allen will demonstrate the trendy use of Alcohol inks which can be used on non-absorbent materials such as tiles and Yupo to create vibrant colors and unusual results.

The mini demos will accommodate questions and answers.  The audience is encouraged to actively participate and share their own discoveries in any new and exciting art materials and their uses.  Creativity has no boundaries!

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

Hi Joey,

First off, my wife and I love the blog and have been longtime readers! We’ve just moved back to town after being away for several years and are now running our own small video production business called Yellow Hook Productions. Not sure if this is something you’d want to post, but we wanted to share a video we recently made for our friend and neighbor Joanne Chirico’s business Goodinens.

We love her towels and really believe in what she’s doing and thought other folks in the area might like to know about it – plus the video was filmed entirely in Gloucester! We’d also love to spread the word that we are very interested in working with other local small businesses on their video needs.

Thanks so much!
