Kurt Ankeny Writes-

Good Labor Day weekend to you all:

I’m pleased to announce that I will be a part of the Art Now: Rockport evening on September 17th. This is an intimate evening with five of Rockport’s leading contemporary artists where conversation about art and a bit of context provided by Lydia Barry Kutko, a New York based art advisor, will set the tone for the night. We hope that the event will help to contextualize Rockport’s contemporary artists and help familiarize attendees with the artists pushing past the boundaries of the more traditional artworks that Rockport has a reputation for.

Tickets are available for this evening event, please visit www.artnowrockport.com. (The official promo poster is attached to this email.)

Featured artists: Kurt Ankeny, Renata Fryshara, Ben MacAdam, Nina Samoiloff, and Karen Tusinski. Much thanks to Sarah Kelly, Rockport’s very own events guru and all around booster for the arts! She has organized and promoted this event, and we are very happy and grateful to have her in our corner!

Thank you, and I hope to see some of you there!, Kurt

Here’s a video with Lydia Barry Kutco

What the Heck is a Windlass?

What the Heck is a Windlass?

I never knew what one was until I viewed this video. I always thought it was probably one of the small sails on a Schooner. You learn something new everyday.

From the Youtube Description;

“What’s a windlass? The students from Cape Ann TV’s After-the-Beach Video Club visited the Gloucester Schooner Adventure on Tuesday, July 12, where some of the crew from the Schooner Adventure gave the students a tour of this historic sailing vessel, which is docked at the Marine Railway on Rocky Neck in Gloucester. Watch this short clip to find out about the ship’s newly restored windlass.”

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Adam Bolonsky reports-

Sean Hurley, local artist at work in his studio at Beacon Marine Basin, just one of many artists’ beehives located throughout Gloucester, opens up his studio to Good Morning Gloucester.

Watch while Sean runs the first step in printing a large-sized copper plate etching: inking the etched copper plate.

The print Sean has created is far larger than 11″x17″.

And, attention, Gloucester and Rockport gallery owners! Sean has representation in New York, but none on Cape Ann!

Here & Now Sunday July 17th at The Sargent House Museum

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

‘HERE & NOW’ SERIES BRINGS ARTISTS TO HISTORIC SITE

Here & Now: Contemporary Artists Working in The Sargent House Museum Garden

Launches this Sunday with artist Kathy Gentile Roberts

Here & Now was conceived as a means to revitalize the 1782 Sargent House and energize the under-utilized Sargent House Museum garden. The garden’s tiers, which were added to the site in 1925 by preservation architect Joseph Everett Chandler, create unique spaces for artists to set up and find inspiration in the garden. Known for restorations at the House of the Seven Gables and the Paul Revere House, Chandler made various alterations to the historic site and grounds.

Built in 1782 for Judith Sargent Murray—an early feminist writer, philosopher, and social activist, the Sargent House is a fine example of high-style Georgian domestic architecture, enlarged during the Federal period, and converted into a museum during the height of the Colonial Revival.

There are still opportunities available for artists to participate in the Here & Now series. Interested artists should contact Site Manager Kate Laurel Burgess-Mac Intosh at kburgess1@mac.com or by calling 978-412-5290.

Upcoming Artists in the Here & Now Series

July 31: Kathryn Gentile Roberts

August 7: Mary Rhinelander McCarl

August 14: Dorothy Englander

August 21: Carole Anne Meehan

August 28: Coco Berkman

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Happy almost August! We’ve been having fun making animals and tables out of paper mache, trying out graphic design with computer programs and designing websites for our artwork!

Here’s a quick update on our upcoming programs at Art Haven for Middle and High School students:

Sign up now!

UPCOMING Art Haven Visiting Artist Workshops!

           Photography Week II (August 1-5)

            Illustration (August 8-12)

Alexandra Daskalopoulos, our Art Haven photography teacher, will be leading students in a week long photography workshop next week. Whether you have taken a photo class with Alex before or if you are new to photography, Alex will help you explore this medium further!

Also, we are very excited to welcome Amy Rizzico to Art Haven as the visiting artist for Illustration the following week. She is a local artist on Cape Ann and has a portfolio which can be seen at: www.rizzico.com. She is a "versatile artist with experience in design, illustration, painting and other media."  She has illustrated children’s books for other authors and for herself.  She has also used illustration for design projects in her professional career.

We are excited that so far we’ve had students commit to both weeks for the full day program in coordination with "The Annie," so we’ll also be writing and performing a play with the theme of "Murder on Rocky Neck!"

Photography Week I

Come learn more about photography, illustration and participate in the performing arts as well!

Classes are from 1-4, Monday through Friday and it’s $75/week.  For the full day program with the performing arts morning, the day runs from 9am to 4pm and the cost is $375 for the two-week session.
