Time to Celebrate!
It’s Been 30 Years … and We’re Going Stronger Than Ever!
Please join us in our closing event of the year; we’ve had a wonderful 30th Anniversary year and the upcoming Fall Studio Tour will be the icing on our cake … you can help us to celebrate in style!
With the holidays and gift-giving season just around the corner, experience the best local hand-made fine craft and art New England has to offer. Enjoy ongoing demonstrations by many of the artisans; pottery, glass beadmaking, mosaics, painting, fabric printing and copper sculpture are just a few of the artforms being demo-ed during the tour.
Plan to spend a day (or two or three!) exploring the beauty of Cape Ann, an area that has captivated artists and craftspeople for centuries. Our rich artistic traditions are woven into the foundations of our history – come celebrate those traditions with us – share our delight in the Cape Ann environment and our joy in the work we do.
Cape Ann Artisans are part of a vibrant, thriving arts community.
We invite you to come visit, explore our exquisite natural surroundings,

Mark Stevick’s show runs this weekend at Rockafella’s in Salem. They need attendees because he has the near-impossible task of filling 80 seats per night for the first five nights.
It’s a very funny smartly written whodunit murder mystery dinner theater thing. And to get people to come, they’re doing free show with the dinner price of $28. See below for details.
Pass the below info along, please, if you know people who enjoy laughter.

Hey guitar fans you don’t want to miss Dublin Guitar Quartet at Shalin Liu – October 18
DUBLIN GUITAR QUARTET
Friday, October 18, 8pm
Get Tickets
“The Dublin Guitar Quartet have no frontiers when it comes to blazing a trail for contemporary music.”— Sunday Business Post (Ireland)
Described as a “quartet with a difference” by the Irish Times, the Dublin Guitar Quartet is a one-of-a-kind classical guitar ensemble that occupies a unique space in the wider chamber music world. It is the first classical guitar quartet devoted to new music. Since its formation at the Dublin Conservatory of Music and Drama, DGQ has worked to expand the limited repertoire by commissioning new works and adapting modern masterpieces from outside of the guitar repertoire. Audiences can expect an explosive, entertaining, and completely novel concert experience.

Dave Sag’s Blues Party to Host Dennis Brennan, Matt Stubbs and Chris Rivelli. This Thursday 10.10.2013
Dave says,
We will reach our rendezvous with destiny this Thursday with the luminescent return of that master vocalist and harpist, Mr. Dennis Brennan. Rapidly becoming a favorite here at the Rhumb Line, this cat has got what it takes to put a shimmy in your shake, and ants in your pants. He can traumatize your soul. He’ll be bringing along the best young lion of guitarists, Mr. Matt Stubbs, with his finger-popping style and dead-on chops. Rhythm provided by Roomful of Blues clanger, Mr. Chris Rivelli, 21 jewel ticker and concussion expert. Me? I’m the basest. Czech it out!
And on Saturday night, at the same old place, I’ll be cringing in the corner, filling in for that fabulous songbird, Ms. Mari Martin. She’s bringing along some great musicians like Roger Brocklebank, on skins, Mark Retalleck, on keys and Bob Enik on glitar. Mari really blew the roof off last time she was here. I gotta check Fred’s insurance. It’ll be a great night for dancing!
And, as usual, we thank you all for your continued support. Now that I’ve got a Facebook page, what do I do with it? Let me know all your subhuman desires at facebook.com/pages/Davesags-blues-party/1413082458915228. Your wish is my command.

For The Low Low Price Of Just $180 Per Person You Can Have The Honor Of Eating At Apple Street Farm With Chef Frank McClelland (organic produce and everything)
WHO: Frank McClelland is the James Beard award winning Chef and Proprietor of L’Espalier. L’Espalier has been a perennial “best” of America’s restaurants for three decades, earning top accolades from Zagat, Forbes, Food & Wine, Bon Appetit, Wine Spectator and Conde Nast Traveler as well as nods in international media.
Chef McClelland is one of few Chefs in the country to reside on his own farm, Apple Street Farm. In one of the country’s most ambitious sustainable agriculture initiatives for the restaurant industry, Apple Street Farm is the primary source of organic harvests for L’Espalier and is a source for various other restaurants throughout the city of Boston. Apple Street Farm is located just north of Boston in Essex, MA and is Chef McClelland’s revitalization of a two-century pastoral 14-acre equestrian farm.
WHAT: To celebrate the freshest ingredients of fall, Chef Frank McClelland and his team will be hosting the Apple Street Farm Essex Harvest Feast on October 18th and 19th. Every month, Chef prepares a themed dinner showcasing the organic produce, poultry, and eggs from the fields. For the month of October, Chef has designed a five-course menu with wines pairings.
Upon arrival, guests are welcome to explore the beautiful grounds of Apple Street Farm while enjoying a seasonal cocktail and hors d’oeuvres prepared by the chefs of L’Espalier. They will then be seated outside (or under a tent in the case of inclement weather)

FLYABOUT: An Installation featuring
BRAD STORY’S flying sculptures and CAMILLA MCFADYEN’S textile collograph panels
Flatrocks Gallery invites you to enter a striking and whimsical world created by artists Camilla MacFadyen and Brad Story.
The large scale textile panels by MacFadyen evoke beautiful, dreamlike landscapes. Her wall sized printing plates – inspired by walks through local woodlands, marshes and stretches of shore – are made from organic materials found at these sites. The patterns made by bits of twig, or leaves or pebbles are colored and layered in a painterly way to create views that are at once familiar and new. The artist’s use of hemp and silk as her “canvas” imbue the landscapes with qualities of air and light particular to each.
Inhabiting the environment created by MacFadyen’s panels are Brad Story’s flying sculptures. Brad, the seventh generation of famed Essex ship builders, draws upon a lifetime of experience with wooden boats for the inspiration behind these startlingly original creations. Their forms are governed by the artist’s full attention to the ways in which objects move through wind and water, but each piece is given a personality by Brad’s lively imagination. These are creatures, not objects.
We are REALLY excited by this exhibition, and we know you will be, too.
