ROCKY NECK WALKING TOURS ARE BACK!

Posted on by Manuel F. Simoes

Rocky Neck Art Colony kicked off its first public walking tour of the season on

Additional tours will be conducted on:

The Rocky Neck Historic Art Trail takes you to fifteen sites of art historical significance in one of America’s most visually arresting locales. Rocky Neck is a granite promontory with tide flats and wharf buildings separating the harbor proper from Smith’s Cove in Gloucester, Massachusetts. With its scenic views and humble waterfront buildings, this spit of land measuring less than one square mile has since the early 19th century beckoned a steady stream of painters, sculptors and writers to its picturesque shores. Regarded by many to be “America’s Oldest Working Art Colony,” the artists’ enclave at Rocky Neck during the period from 1850 to 1950 attracted a number of the most important realist painters in the annals of American art.

By mapping the sites where they worked, lived and became inspired, the Rocky Neck Historic Art Trail enables you to walk in the footsteps of Winslow Homer, Fitz Henry Lane, Augustus Buhler, Frank Duveneck, Marsden Hartley, Edward Hopper and a host of other pioneering American artists, and to see first-hand the iconic land and seascapes that gave rise to their illustrious artistic output. It is hoped that, by enabling you to identify where historical artistic events took place and to see them in the context of what remains today, the Trail documents will ensure you make the most of your visit to one of the special places in the history of American art.

Margarita Monday Is BACK!

Posted on by Pat D

When the calendar turned to June, I started celebrating Margarita Monday again. To start the season, we went to a favorite hangout for a favorite margarita: Minglewood on Rogers St. It was a beautiful afternoon so we sat on the patio for a snack and some libations. Hands down, my favorite “regular” margarita. We had fried cauliflower and buffalo chicken tenders while the ravenous seagulls were watching carefully. Perfectly relaxing. Thanks Minglewood! Another win.

@FishermenGHS we want to thank our Spring Senior Athletes for all their efforts & commitment through the years & congrats on graduating.

Gloucester joins 20 Massachusetts Municipalities to Form Coastal Communities Alliance Growing network of leaders of coastal cities and towns focused on climate resilience 

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Today, on World Environment Day, Gloucester Mayor Greg Verga joined with the leaders of other Massachusetts communities to announce the formation of the Massachusetts Coastal Communities Alliance, a network of Mayors, Town Managers and Administrators, and other local officials from coastal cities and towns in the Commonwealth. Altogether the 20 communities comprise over half a million Massachusetts residents and hundreds of miles of coastline. 

“As coastal communities, Gloucester and our neighboring cities and towns are witnessing the impacts of climate change firsthand, including rising sea levels and extreme weather events,” said Mayor Greg Verga of Gloucester. “In Gloucester, we have been strategically prioritizing sustainable projects and coastal resiliency initiatives to better prepare for and combat these challenges. I look forward to joining the Massachusetts Coastal Communities Alliance, where we can collaboratively address these issues, share our knowledge, and work together to safeguard our communities.” 

The goal of the Massachusetts Coastal Communities Alliance is to provide a platform for information-sharing and peer-learning between local leaders who serve coastal communities, especially with the Commonwealth’s new ResilientCoasts initiative getting underway. Through the Alliance member communities will share information, coordinate on plans and actions, identify funding and technical assistance opportunities to maximally benefit coastal areas, and learn from one other about best practices, innovative policies, and successful projects when it comes to coastal resilience. 

“As leaders of coastal communities, we are all concerned about the escalating impacts we’re witnessing due to the climate crisis,” said Mayor Dominick Pangallo of Salem. “Through this new alliance, we can further collaborate with one another as we work to protect our communities. Coastal towns and cities are on the front line of experiencing climate impacts and we each bring a powerful and important perspective to the work ahead. We’re committed to the important efforts underway at the local level to strive for a more resilient future. I’m grateful to the inaugural members of the alliance and invite mayors and managers from our other coastal municipalities in the Commonwealth to join the initiative.” 

“The City of Chelsea is excited to join the newly forming Massachusetts Coastal Communities Alliance,” said Chelsea City Manager Fidel Maltez. “As a coastal community, we live the impacts of rising sea levels, worsening storms, and increased heat island effect, every day. As an environmental justice community, many of our residents lack the capacity to bounce back after a climate event. Through this Alliance, we will work together, in a regional context, to address climate issues and build resilience into our community.” 

“The impacts of climate change are being felt now,” said Manchester-by-the-Sea Town Administrator Gregory Federspiel. “We have experienced new levels of flooding from the ocean from just minor storms. By collaborating with similarly situated coastal communities, we can help each other address the challenges we are facing and share resources more effectively.” 

“The Town of Nahant is completed surrounded by the effects of sea level rise,” said Nahant Town Administrator Antonio Barletta. “There is no larger issue for our community. We aren’t just experiencing eroded coastline, we are often prevented from accessing the mainland during storms which significantly impacts our ability to provide emergency services. We are grateful for the opportunity to join this Alliance and we look forward to working with fellow coastal communities on these issues.” 

“It is going to take a combined effort to combat the effects of climate change,” said Mayor Sean Reardon of Newburyport. “This is not a problem one community can solve alone but together we can partner together to find regional solutions to become more resilient.” 

“It is critically important that we work together as local and regional officials to address the dramatic impact of climate change,” said Swampscott Town Administrator Sean Fitzgerald. “These are life safety issues for seacoast communities. We need to make investments now to protect our communities and region.”
