Gloucester’s 2nd cultural district was established downtown in March 2013. Jeff Weaver and Sawyer Free / Matz were original partners! Annual surveys from the stakeholders, partners and residents rejected the forced moniker “harbortown” — preferring what they chose and what we know is ‘downtown’. Gloucester’s downtown district stretches from the train station, encompassing the iconic Fisherman at the Wheel Memorial, Stacy Blvd, Stage Fort Park all the way over to Crow’s Nest and everything in between– much as the historic walking, cycling and trolley travel journals encouraged from the late Victorian age through the 1930s and beyond.

‘We, The People’ Group Art Exhibition opens Saturday May 10th. reception from 1-5PM at Jane Deering Gallery #GloucesterMA

Posted on by Catherine

Art and politics have pretty much always gone hand in hand.

We, the People, a benefit group show opening at Jane Deering Gallery in Gloucester on May 10th features 30 artists and counting (including Peter Cady, Ann Conneman, Linda Eckstrom, Nella Lush, and others) utilizing their art, activism, and fundraising in response to current politics. Proceeds will support a future Democratic candidate.

Read more about the show from Jane Deering Gallery:

We, The People

May 10-26, 2025

Jane Deering Gallery | Opening Reception | Saturday May 10th . 1-5pm

We, The People will be an exhibition of artworks by over 30 artists with whom the gallery has collaborated for many years. 85% of sales will go to support a Democratic candidate running in the midterm elections (2026). The chosen candidate could be from any State in the country, and will be decided by committee.

It is our opinion that collective action is required in these troubling times. And it is our hope that this exhibition will be supported by those in our community who desire to do something, and will take action alongside us.

Artworks will be quality work by recognized and established artists, as well as emerging artists. Prices are fair and affordable. The gallery does not wish to ask artists to donate work. Too often artists are asked to give work for free, receiving no remuneration. Artists will receive 10% from sales, which in itself is a meager sum. The gallery to receive 5%. The gallery is grateful to the participating artists for this agreement. 

Millions of American citizens are concerned about what is happening to our Constitution, to the respect for law, to the disregard of our long-standing Allies, for threats the President is making to take over Sovereign nations, for the continued lies and falsehoods spread by the President and his Administration, and for the mean and careless treatment of the poor, the disabled, the persecuted persons in our country and abroad.

The gallery and the artists would like you to have a special work of art. We are not asking for outright donations. Thank you for collectively taking a stand with us.

Artworks will be uploaded to the Jane Deering Gallery (here) as they are submitted.

Friday! Join Paul Cary Goldberg & Antony Ohman at their new solo shows. Jane Deering Gallery.

Join Paul Cary Goldberg & Antony Ohman at their new solo shows — Saturday November 9th from 4-6pm .

“Paul Cary Goldberg’s street images from the 1970’s alongside his contemporary farm portraits; and Antony Ohman’s black and white series exploring the relationship of images in sequence define this show.

Goldberg has titled his part I Wish That I Could Show You Everything; work spanning 1975-2020. In selecting images, he has pulled from an extensive body of work, choosing intimate portraits of farmers to actions of children just hanging out on the street to the poignant portraits of the hand of his late wife, Lee.

Ohman titles his part in the exhibition I Spy / A Bird’s Eye — a play on the guessing game we all know so well coupled with the notion of a bird’s eye view. He leads us on a search where the viewer’s eye is met by the various captures of a bird’s eye.”

TWO solo exhibitions at Jane Deering Gallery: Paul Cary Goldberg | Antony Ohman. Reception November 9

“Jane Deering Gallery presents Two Photographers | Two Solo Shows : Paul Cary Goldberg & Antony Ohman opening Saturday November 9th with a reception from 4-6pm and an Artist Talk on November 23rd from 3-5pm. Paul Cary Goldberg’s street images from the 1970’s alongside his intimate portraits of farmers, and Antony Ohman’s exploration of how series of images can relate to each other as narratives, define this stunning show. The subtle tonalities in black & white photography achieved by the photogravure process is a fascination for each artist. Goldberg and Ohman both maintain a studio on Cape Ann in Gloucester MA. The exhibition runs through December 8th. Gallery hours: Fri & Sat 1-5pm; Sun 1-4pm and by appointment at paul@paulcarygoldberg.com 978-821-9920 or ajohman@gmail.com 857-891-0548.”

“Big Boy Fish Head” GMGI acquisition; Paul Cary Goldberg (L) Jon Sarkin (R)

Gloucester Marine Genomics Institute (GMGI) acquired original art by Paul Cary Goldberg and Jon Sarkin for its special new research institute headquarters on Main Street — which means they built an impressive ~~temporary~~ corporate collection from the get-go! *update 1/10/19: GMGI stresses that “these pieces are on loan, and remain property of the artists and are for sale.” Ok! So they could be a great start to a permanent collection. For a peek inside, including in-situ shots, see Kim Smith’s post about the GMGI expansion groundbreaking
