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

Art Haven Update
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:
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.
Youth Open Studio
We also have Youth Open Studio happening throughout the summer on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon from 5:30-7. This is a great opportunity for students in grades 7-12 for continued exploration and self-guided long-term projects! This is offered at $60/ month or $10 to walk in.
Teen Artist Guild
For advanced students in grades 8-12, we have the Teen Artist Guild (TAG) youth entrepreneurship program. This is designed for students to create artwork and learn strategies for selling their artwork. Students sell their work at the Farmer’s Market, in our gallery and at other venues. Please contact us for more details!
Please let me know if you have any questions. I can be reached at kearadesign@hotmail.com. Dawn Gadow, the Art Haven Executive Director, can be contacted at (978) 283-3888 or arthavendirector@gmail.com.

Paintings by Zygmund Jankowski through August 2
Rocky Neck Gallery, 53 Rocky Neck Ave.
Still Life, Watercolor by Zygmund Jankowski
The Rocky Neck Gallery’s Summer Artist Series continues with "Zyg’s Expression,"watercolors and oils by the late Zygmond Jankowski.
Jankowski opened a summer gallery on Rocky Neck in 1964 (at 5 Madfish Wharf, now Gallery Five and most recently Eugene Quinn gallery) and moved to Gloucester permanently in the 1970s. He taught at various universities, art associations and at home in his studio. Ranging from abstract to more realist impressionistic and expressive oil paintings, water colors, and mixed media on paper, his works burst with color. Today his paintings are included in major corporate, museum, and private collections throughout the country and in Europe, including the Cape Ann Museum and the Charles Demuth Museum in Pennsylvania. He has won numerous prizes in juried shows and in 2007 had a one-man show at the Cape Ann Museum. The Rockport Art Association honored his memory with a solo show in 2010.
Born in South Bend, Indiana in 1925, he studied at the California College of Arts and Crafts where he was taught by Victor DeWilde, George Post and Otis Oldfield. Throughout his career Jankowski painted various interpretations of certain themes, each time emphasizing a different element, such as rhythm, space, shape, and color. "You stand as referee between the scene, your emotion and analysis. Your goal is to experience a feeling of excitement for the first stroke to the last." He also said of his work, "These are paintings, NOT pictures. Cameras take pictures.

August 3-16: Slipping the Knot, watermedia paintings by Martha Wakefield
RECEPTION: SAT, August 6, 5-8pm, Gallery Talk, 7pm
Slip# 2, watermedia by Martha Wakefield
This body of work is an exploration of loss—of love that once was vibrant has slipped away. To denote this spirited soul I am utilizing a slip—an article of clothing that conveys intimacy with the wearer. A slip can be utilitarian or sensual, revealing the beauty of the female form without portraying nakedness. It has an intimate relationship with the wearer acting as a second skin but also acts as a protective or proper barrier to the other influences. I am using color, shape, line and layering to convey a sense of someone wearing, moving, and living in such a sheer skin of fabric—yet one who remains hidden from our view. The garment holds the memory of a loved one; we sense a presence though in truth she has slipped away from the knot of life and family. All that remains is the clothes.
Martha Wakefield, a former fashion executive, is a visual artist working in watercolors, acrylics and oils. She is a juried member of the Cambridge Art Association and the Rhode Island Watercolor Society. Martha has studied with Wolf Kahn, Stuart Shils and William Lawrence. Her work has been accepted into numerous juried shows and is in many private collections in United States and Canada. Her paintings have been featured in the Fall/Winter 2010 issue of Wild Apples: a Journal of Nature, Art, and Inquiry, and The Palette Magazine where she is a staff writer. A juried member of the Rocky Neck Gallery of Gloucester, she is also is represented by the Hope Gallery of Bristol, Rhode Island.
The public is invited to a Reception and Artist Talk on Saturday, August 6 from 5 to 8pm. Martha will give a gallery talk at 7pm.

An Inspirational Interview With Jeffrey Cluett- An Artist Without Limits
My faith and hope for the future of the art scene in Gloucester renewed after popping into Gallery 5 on Madfish Wharf
If I see another paining of a goddamn bowl of fruit I swear I’m gonna gouge my eyes out.
my suggestion- go down to Gallery 5 on Madfish Wharf, check out Jeffrey Cluett, Ben Macadam and Stephanie Williams work and rediscover what it was like for you as an artist when you had youth on your side and didn’t know any boundaries. Rules? We don’t need no stinkin rules!!! Rediscover and reconnect with what it was like to let it go and to create freely and push what is possible with whatever medium it is you work with.
This is the art that is making a difference. This is the art that inspires. This is the future. Welcome.

Open Studio Hours this week
Friday 7/15, 4-8pm and Sunday 7/17, 4-8pm
Concentric, 60"x71", oil on canvas, 2010
Duality is a theme that repeatedly makes its way into my work. Having spent my childhood in Taiwan, I am strongly influenced by my dual Chinese and Japanese heritage. Coming to America, I found my deeply held beliefs being constantly re-evaluated, challenged, and sometimes compromised. My work is a medium for me to revisit and gain new understanding from my immigration experience. My creativity is fueled by direct observation. My work is driven by the fascination with perceptual and visual experience of light and space. I am constantly seeking new ways to create an illusionistic space through an exploration of of lines, shapes, color and through the visceral act of painting, scraping and collaging materials. I draw upon images of the people, objects, and places that I observe and identify with on a personal level. These images and ideas are given substance and transformed through my painting and printmaking practices. I’ve received a BFA in Painting from University of Washington and MFA Painting degree from Boston University.
Simply Looking, Looking Simple: oil paintings
by Claudia Kaufman
Last Day, Tuesday, July 19
Claudia Kaufman
Contemporary realist painter Claudia Kaufman’s "Simply Looking: Looking Simple," the third in the Rocky Neck Gallery Summer Artist Series, opens Wednesday, July 6 and runs until Tuesday, July 19. A reception for the artist will be held Saturday, July 9, from 5-8 p.m. Kaufman will give a talk at about 7pm where she will show slides that show the steps involved in creating an acurately realistic painting. The public is invited.
Kaufman lives in Marblehead and is a member of the North Shore, Rockport, and Marblehead Art Associations and the Copley Society of Art. Her work has been shown in many Boston area exhibitions. She worked as a commercial artist in New York City followed by a career as marketing executive/creative director of a national healthcare technology company.
She studied painting at the School of the Museum of Fine arts in Boston, Mass College of Art and most recently completed a post baccalaureate residency program in painting at Brandeis University.
As a contemporary realist painter, my works are studies in observation — still lifes of familiar objects that are deceptively simple, yet complex. In the studio setting, I challenge myself to translate the perceived three-dimensional world to a 2D field by observing and capturing the conditions of light, form, color and space through the painterly properties of oil paint. Stopping short of photo-realism, I work to keep the signs of my hand and brushstroke in my work and am particularly intrigued by the drama of light, transparency, reflection and shadows.
—Claudia Kaufman

“Art, Rocks!” Better Late Than Never! Rockport 09/04/2010
“Art, Rocks!”
Better Late Than Never!
I received an email a few weeks ago from a 10 year old boy who when he was nine years old at the time he found one of my “Art,Rocks!” a Rock that I left at T-Wharf in Rockport on 09/04/2010. I think that was about 9 months ago. I remember leaving it there after having a cup of coffee and watching the Lobstermen get ready for their day. About 5am. I always wonder about the ones I leave that don’t get reported back to the email I leave on them. Currently the last three that I’ve left in the past two weeks that I never gave notice on GMG Have not been reported back. Which is fine. In this world we live in now, maybe people think there is a catch too this thing. Maybe they think I want money for it. Emails like Coopers who found it is payment enough! I will never ask anything for them. An email would be nice but, If I don’t get a response that’s fine too! Mystery and fantasy is what makes life! isn’t it?
Here’s the email from Cooper and Photos of the “Art, Rock!” He found! Who could ask for anything more?!!!! Thanks Cooper!
Am I a little weird? Maybe! 🙂
from Cooper;
Dear mr or mrs frontiero. I picked up one of your pictures of the motif in a parking lot in rockport on 9-4-2010. I am very sorry not to get back to you sooner. I am a 10 year old boy and I’m in fourth grade at st johns in Beverly Massachusetts . I picked it up when i was nine with my aunt and little sister delaney who is now 6. That is my lucky rock because that day I won a contest at bearskin neck country store. You are a beautiful artist. Sincerely , Cooper
I’m Not a Writer, so please forgive any errors! 🙂
