Author Talk with Mark Kurlansky: The Boston Way: Radicals Against Slavery & The Civil War
Join the Sawyer Free Library for an afternoon with acclaimed author Mark Kurlansky as he discusses his latest book, The Boston Way: Radicals Against Slavery & The Civil War on Saturday, October 25 from 2:00 to 3:00 PM.
In this powerful and thought-provoking work, Kurlansky explores a lesser-known side of abolitionism—the Boston pacifists who believed persuasion, not violence, was the only path to lasting freedom and justice. Through the lives of William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass, and other Black and white abolitionists, Kurlansky examines how their moral courage and commitment to nonviolence shaped not only the fight against slavery, but the broader pursuit of human rights that would influence thinkers from Leo Tolstoy to Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Copies of The Boston Way will be available for purchase at the event courtesy of The Bookstore of Gloucester.
The event is free, and open to all to attend but registration is requested at sawyerfreelibrary.org.

It’s Sinikka Nogelo’s last studio tour at 97 East Main, and she’ll have works from the 15 years she’s made the Cripple Cove Studios her home
Sinikka Nogelo
Click any image to enter my gallery
Tour Studio Number: 12
Contemporary Painting & Experimental Arts
97 E. Main Street #1, Cripple Cove Studios
Gloucester, MA
My artwork is inspired by all of nature, from the daily beauty of Cape Ann, to the depth of human experience in a life blessed and humbled by the urge to create. When painting, I love color and playing with composition, and the surprising results of using materials in new ways. This year I took up Gelli printing and am delighting in combining those techniques with acrylic stain painting. I’ll be pleased to show you how it’s done when you visit my studio on Gloucester’s Cripple Cove.
Also on view will be two of my newer sculptures. I added sculpture to my practice a dozen or so years ago when the environmental statements I wanted to make cried out for 3D. For these works I most often use recyclables and found objects and, at times, paint. Selections from my sculptural work can be found in the book “Site Specific: 20 Years of Sculpture at Maudslay” by Joyce Zarins as well as on the Outdoor Sculpture at Maudslay website.

INTER / PLAY Closing Reception with Artists talk
A Group Exhibition Exploring the Space Between Solitude, Nature, and the Creative Process
Closing Reception: Sunday, October 12th at 5pm
Exhibition Dates: September 18 – October 13, 2025
Location: Cove Gallery, 37 Rocky Neck Avenue, Gloucester, MA
Rocky Neck Art Colony is pleased to present INTER / PLAY, a group exhibition bringing together five Cape Ann-based artists—Morgan Dyer, Amanda Bittner, Vanessa Michalak, Elissa Lincoln, and Maia Mattson—to explore the dynamic relationships between solitude, nature, and the creative process. The exhibition unfolds across two interconnected gallery spaces, each offering a distinct entry point into the artists’ practices. The first space features a curated selection of framed works, introducing viewers to each artist’s dialogue with the natural world. Here, themes of structure, rhythm, and personal connection emerge.
From there, boundaries begin to dissolve. In the second room, paintings and sculptural forms break open, overlap, and collide. Texture and scale shift dramatically, creating a visceral experience that echoes the unpredictability of nature, time, and material. Each artist contributes a distinct voice to this evolving conversation:
Morgan Dyer’s layered paintings and sculptural pieces—shaped by outdoor surfaces—evoke the interplay of control and surrender found in Cape Ann’s coastal terrain.
Amanda Bittner and Vanessa Michalak translate plein air experiences into works that capture the immediacy of shifting light and atmosphere.
Elissa Lincoln crafts memory-laced paper collages that reassemble fragments of landscapes into new forms.
Maia Mattson, working with foraged botanicals, builds immersive environments that explore cycles of impermanence and renewal.
At the heart of INTER / PLAY is a collaborative, site-responsive installation co-created by all five artists. This shared piece acts as a living culmination of the themes explored throughout the show—where materials, gesture, and intuition converge.
About Rocky Neck Art Colony Founded in 1855, Rocky Neck Art Colony is one of the oldest continuously operating art colonies in the United States. Located in Gloucester, Massachusetts, it is home to a vibrant community of artists and cultural organizations. Through exhibitions, residencies, and educational programs, RNAC fosters creativity, collaboration, and connection with the wider community.
