“Honesty Day is all about telling the truth. Be brave and share opinions, thoughts and perspectives that might otherwise go unsaid in order to be polite – but take care not to upset or offend others.”

Put on your dancing shoes! Cause, Greg Luttrell is Dave Sag’s guest tonight…@ The Rhumb Line 8:30-11:30 4.30.2015
Dave says,
Just back from the Sum Yung Guy food festival in Shanghai, let’s welcome back Mr. Greg Lutrell, citizen and catarrh master. Sings like an angel, too. Mr.l spends a goodly time in China each year, but he’s home now and willing to regale you with his seasick repertoire. It’s always a pleasure to follow him around all his groovy machinations, curve balls and all. Drumming up some enthusiasm will be my old buddy Mr. Roger Brocklebank. With his hollow leg, he’ll be taking anybody’s leftovers home with him. Eat hardy and enjoy!

Nichole’s Picks May 2nd and 3rd
Unbelievably, it is May!
Pick #1
ARTS FIRST at Harvard University!
One of the nation’s largest university arts festivals showcases over 225 presentations.
Harvard invites the public to four days of non-stop art. The annual ARTS FIRST festival celebrates student and faculty creativity at the University. Around half of Harvard’s 6,600 students participate in the festival each spring. Over 225 music, theater, dance, film, and visual arts events, most free of charge and open to the public, are on tap. Whether you are a fan of a cappella or bhangra, tap or Tchaikovsky, installation art or painting, improv comedy or pipe organ performance, ARTS FIRST has an arts experience for you.
The official calendar of events within that link was working a couple of days ago, but was not working last night. Hopefully it will be up and running so you can check out all of the great events that are being offered. Some are “kid friendly”….some are not. I suggest checking out the list of events before heading in.
Pick #2
The deCordova Museum in Lincoln is currently installing their summer galleries and exhibits so the museum is closed, HOWEVER, the awesome Sculpture Park is open and admission is 1/2 price. Totally worth the trip!
Check out the Sculpture Park HERE!
DeCordova is internationally recognized as a major venue for the exhibition and interpretation of modern and contemporary outdoor sculpture. The Sculpture Park occupies the entire campus: 30 acres of beautifully landscaped lawns, forests, fields, gardens, and terraces on a rolling site along the shore of Flint’s Pond in Lincoln, Massachusetts. At any given time, approximately 60 sculptures are on display in the Sculpture Park, which is open every day during the summer and Wednesdays through Sundays during the winter.
Pick #3
The PawSox!
You all know how much I love the Red Sox and Fenway Park, but heading to Pawtucket is a fantastic way to take the kids “out to the ball game” without breaking the bank. Tickets are only $13 each…which leaves money left over for ball park snacks!
Check out their schedule HERE! It consists of two home games this weekend…both at 1:05!
Please, as always, check out our friends at North Shore Kid for a much more comprehensive list of family activities!

North Shore Artist, George Martin’s Work on Display at First Ipswich Bank’s Gloucester Branch
First Ipswich Bank is pleased to announce that
work by local artist, George Martin, is now on display at its
Gloucester branch – 207 Main Street – through July.
George is an award-winning painter and graphic designer who was born in Massachusetts in 1951 and resides on the North Shore. Graduate of Vesper George School of Art, Boston, he studied under Robert Douglas Hunter, Robert Cormier, and Charles Cooper, among other noted Boston artists. He went on to earn a reputation as an outstanding graphic designer at a number of corporations and design firms. Since 2005, George has been as professional painter who has gained increasing recognition for his work. He is an artist member of the North Shore Arts Association and the Rockport Art Association. From 2011-2012, he served on the Board of Trustees as President of the North Shore Arts Association.
As George explains, plein air (open air) painting restores his passion for nature and awakens his senses. Influenced by representational and impressionist styles, his landscapes and other subjects are painted from life, memory and personal references.
“We are so happy to be able to welcome our third local artist exhibit at our Gloucester branch. We hope that everyone will consider stopping in to view this latest display by George Martin.” commented Bank President, Russ Cole.
About the program:
One artist’s work will be shown every three months; the first installation featured Katherine “Kim” Thayer’s work and Jim Clyde’s work was on display through April. George Martin’s works will be displayed through July 2015.
For more information, please contact Rebecca Sumner, Branch Manager at 978-356-3700, or Beth Taber at 978-356-8120.
