Fishermen’s Memorial Service

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

 

 

The annual Fishermen’s Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, August 8th at 5:00 PM .  This Service is to remember and honor all of those who have lost their lives in the long history of Gloucester’s fishing industry.  The Service starts with a procession from the American Legion, down Middle Street and onto Stacy Boulevard. Everyone is invited to join the procession.  It is led by a line of drummers and many of those walking carry flowers to toss into the sea at the end of the ceremony to remember loved ones or hold boat oars carrying the names of Gloucester fishing boats, past and present.  

 

 

Please join the Fishermen’s Memorial Service Committee in remembering those who lost their lives fishing from America’s oldest seaport.

Gloucester Stage Company Earns Multiple Elliot Norton AwardsFollowing Record-Breaking 14 Nominations

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Gloucester, MA – Gloucester Stage Company received five Elliot Norton Awards at the 43rd Annual Elliot Norton Awards ceremony held Monday evening at the Huntington Theatre in Boston, following a record-setting fourteen nominations across multiple productions during the company’s 2025 season.

The recognition further solidifies Gloucester Stage’s growing reputation as one of Greater Boston’s leading midsize theater companies, with nominations spanning acting, directing, design, and production categories.

Gloucester Stage award recipients included:

Amanda Fallon (The Glass Menagerie) – Outstanding Lighting Design, Midsize or Small
Liza Giangrande (The Glass Menagerie) – Outstanding Featured Performance in a Play, Midsize
Valyn Lyric Turner (No Child…) – Outstanding Solo Performance
Doug Lockwood (The Glass Menagerie) – Outstanding Director, Midsize
The Glass Menagerie – Outstanding Play, Midsize

Gloucester Stage received nominations across three productions — The Glass Menagerie, The Garbologists, and No Child… — reflecting the company’s commitment to producing work that is artistically ambitious, emotionally resonant, and deeply connected to contemporary audiences.

“To have work recognized across so many disciplines — acting, directing, design, and production — is tremendously meaningful,” said Rebecca Bradshaw, Producing Artistic Director of Gloucester Stage Company. “As a small theater on Cape Ann, there is something incredibly gratifying about seeing the work being created here recognized alongside some of the region’s most respected companies. These nominations and awards reflect the extraordinary artists who bring their talent to Gloucester and the collaborative culture that continues to thrive here.”

Particular recognition for The Glass Menagerie across scenic, lighting, costume, and sound design categories further highlights Gloucester Stage’s growing reputation for producing visually and emotionally immersive theatrical experiences.

This comes as Gloucester Stage launches its 2026 season with the regional premiere of Bad Books by Sharyn Rothstein, followed by Harold Pinter’s Betrayal, the world premiere of Dalloway: First Love, and the regional premiere of Moon Man Walk by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright James Ijames.

As the company continues to expand its artistic profile and regional visibility, Gloucester Stage remains committed to producing bold, thought-provoking work that sparks conversation and connection.

Osprey Nest Update

Posted on by Pat D

Yesterday I was lucky enough to catch a changing of the guard between Annie and Squam at the LobstaLand nest. I was checking the osprey cam (link here) because I knew the chicks were expected to hatch any moment. One has indeed hatched and it was briefly exposed to the open while I was watching! Perhaps by the time you see this, the other two will have hatched as well! It’s so much fun to watch the nest on the osprey cam.

At Minglewood Harborside a new way to roll into the week.. 🍣

Journey of a Song, Saturday, June 6 from 5–7 PM

Posted on by James Eves

Rocky Neck Cultural Center, 6 Wonson Street, Gloucester, MA

Journey of a Song Brings Acclaimed Musicians and Visual Artists Together at Rocky Neck Art Colony.  An intimate evening of music, storytelling, and creative inspiration connected to RNAC’s exhibition, Rhythm and Rhyme.

Rocky Neck Art Colony presents Journey of a Song, a special evening of live music, storytelling, and artistic conversation featuring celebrated North Shore musicians Dan King and Dave Mattacks on Saturday, June 6 from 5–7 PM at the Rocky Neck Cultural Center.

Blending performance with personal narrative, the event invites audiences inside the creative process behind songwriting — exploring how melodies, lyrics, memories, and life experiences evolve into music that resonates deeply with listeners.

Dan King has been writing songs and producing music for many years, performing in venues from coast to coast and collaborating with acclaimed musicians including King Brown Mattacks and Girandies since 2001. Joining him is legendary drummer Dave Mattacks, best known for his work with the iconic British folk-rock band Fairport Convention, who will celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2027. Mattacks has also recorded as a session drummer with renowned artists including Elton John, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Cat Stevens.

The performance is presented in conjunction with RNAC’s current exhibition, Rhythm and Rhyme, on view at the Rocky Neck Cultural Center through June 28, 2026. The exhibition explores the deep connections between visual art, musical arrangements, and lyrical compositions — highlighting how rhythm, harmony, improvisation, and emotional expression transcend artistic disciplines.Advance registration is encouraged, as seating is limited.  Admission: $10 RNAC Members | $20 Non-Members For tickets and information: www.rockyneckartcolony.org

Joel Janowitz. Mark Cooper. Cape Ann | Two Visions opens June 13th. Jane Deering Gallery #GloucesterMA. Summer art exhibitions

Posted on by Catherine

The exhibition Joel Janowitz | Mark Cooper at Jane Deering Gallery opens June 13th, 2026 runs thru Sunday July 12th, 2026

More from Jane Deering about the artists and the show:

Joel Janowitz and Mark Cooper—two Boston-based artists, each with an international reputation—share a friendship that spans decades. Their working studios are on the same Boston street; and as such, they often meet for lunch where the conversation invariably focuses on art. They admire and encourage each other’s work, contrasting as it is, and relish the freedom to critique, which only a close friendship affords. Respect triumphs judgment. The artists also share a long history of exploring Cape Ann. Each has been galvanized by the physical and ephemeral nature of Gloucester and its surrounds, and have spent years exploring and enjoying the beauty of Cape Ann. Their experiences are expressed in very different yet conversant artistic outcomes.

Cooper has been coming here for fifty years and writes

“My creative efforts have always been idea based…The beauty of the ocean, the giant stones, the quarries, the beaches, the sand, the grass, the birds, and the plants meld in my subconscious and are reflected in my art. …
After so many visits, I still discover new things each time – a new quarry or flower as well as a
new look at a familiar view.”

-Mark Cooper


Janowitz’s history in Gloucester and its vicinity spans more than thirty-five years. The region has served as one of the most important and influential motifs in his oeuvre. As he explains


“I’ve explored and painted throughout Cape Ann, and worked directly on-site, painting oils and
watercolors of the area’s abundant beauty. These on-site observations become my source
material.”

-Joel Janowitz

This exhibition is a look at how two renowned contemporary artists—and friends—uniquely interpret their shared reverence for and the inspirations they glean from Cape Ann.

For Cooper, the elements he explores are an inspiration for collage and assemblage, as well as for ceramics, often derived from underwater forms. “The art I create is non-narrative, allowing for viewers to bring their own history and experiences to engage with my work. Elements can be seemingly unrelated, even contradictory; yet these interactions produce a more meaningful and immersive whole. The discovery of unexpected connections is inviting for the viewer and leads to new meanings and greater imagination.”

Janowitz explains his work as addressing his curiosity about the emotive and psychological potentials of pictorial space. “I’ve created numerous series, each centered on the capability of a spatial structure to carry meaning. I explore the known and the unknowable; order and randomness; the abstract and the ambiguous; and the sense of anticipation and inevitability. Often I work en-plein-air, observing situations such as a figure jumping into the ocean, or a log slowing engulfed by water; and I look closely at materials as well—the granite quarries, the rocky shorelines. All of this make up the essence of the Cape. Once in my studio, these plein-air references allow for small observations to emerge into formidable, large-scale works.”

But is there a conversant among the contrasting presentations of their work? a dialogue to unlock? a kinship to discover? It has always been the intent of the gallery that viewers would observe and discover relationships among artworks. In this particular exhibition, finding connections among these works requires curiosity and a close look.

Gallery hours: Fridays or & Saturdays 1-5pm . Sundays 1-4pm
