Good Morning Gloucester

A noteworthy new program is being celebrated tomorrow, Thursday, June 6, from 5-7 pm at the Rocky Neck Cultural Center (lower level gallery).  It is the Art Colony’s Teaching Artist Partnership, a two-year pilot program funded by the Massachusetts Cultural Council through the 2013-14 academic year. The program brings professional artist members of the Rocky Neck Art Colony into O’Maley Innovation Middle School as artists in residence, to enhance teaching objectives through the visual arts.  The works on display tomorrow, presented by artists Gigi Mederos and teacher Brett Dunton, are papyrus made from celery, then painted in hieroglyphics to link with the students’ study of Egyptian culture.

Just the facts:

Interpreting the Moment, a exhibition of oils by Priscilla Serafin

Hi Joey,
I am writing on behalf of the Magnolia Library and Community Center. Could you let your readers know that we are currently taking registrations for our our 36th annual art show to be held on July 12th-14th. We take paintings, photography, sculpture and mixed media. This is a well attended event and a great way for artists to display their work. More information can be found here: http://www.magnolialibrary.org/. 100% of the proceeds from the show go into community events and building upkeep.
Thank You,
Krista Queeney
Art Committee

‘June Artist Gallery at Lone Gull Coffee House Wings & Waves . Photo Art by Gloucester photographer, Michael Chamness features birds and scenery from beautiful Cape Ann.

My personal favorites are the baby swan- ‘Swannabe’ and Eastern Point Light and Breakwater!

Swan Symbolism: Animals were thought to be ‘power totems’ and messengers in Native American Folklore and Greek/Egyptian Mythology. The swan is thought to bear messages of love and relationships. They pair for a lifetime. When the swan glides upon the waters of our awareness, it might be a symbol of love, and a reminder of the blessings found in our relationships. ‘Swanabee’ was photographed in the pond across from Pebble Beach Rockport, MA. E.J. or Joey- I think this is Henry’s Pond. Can you confirm?

These photos will be on display the month of June. Let me know your favorite! Stop by for a cup of tea or iced coffee or one of Mary Ellen’s delicious pastries while enjoying the familiar and beautiful scenes of Cape Ann!’

Thanks  Joey!
