Click here for the seARTS Partner With An Artist Schedules.
I hope to see you all Saturday morning here at Captain Joe’s for coffee and to view Mark’s incredible work.
seARTS is pleased to announce new developments surrounding this weekend’s Partner with an Artist (PWA) Installations and Events. The program revolves around six artists interpretations of Cape Ann’s Literary History and culminates this Thursday, October 9th with a “Forum” discussion with the artists and October 11th with a community art project and celebration.
Boston-based art critic, Greg Cook will join the PWA Forum on Thursday to co-moderate with Peter Anastas. Greg’s presence and interest in the PWA programs further demonstrates the significance of these innovative programs.
Before re-locating to Boston, Greg Cook lived in Gloucester for a decade. He writes regularly for The Boston Phoenix and is founding editor of The New England Journal of Aesthetic Research (http://www.gregcookland.com/journal). His reviews, reports and jokes have also appeared in The Boston Globe, Art New England, PoetryFoundation.org, The Providence Phoenix, the Gloucester Daily Times, and Nick Magazine. Among the many projects that fill his spare time, he serves as commodore of The Society for the Preservation of Fitz Hugh Lane. The combined perspectives and experience of Anastas and Cook promises to make this a lively discussion.
The program is also being enthusiastically supported by two community partners – the Cape Ann YMCA Teen Leaders and Art Haven who will collaborate to produce the October 11th community art project at the green house at 54 Commercial Street to transform the interior and exterior of the building. Ben’s Paint Store has generously donated supplies to help the artists. Monte Rome, owner of InterShell is thrilled to have the space used for a community learning and experiential event and hopes to attract more in the future.
Working in close collaboration with local businesses, seARTS is also announcing the “seARTS-Seafood Experience” drawing to support the programs. The PWA Business Partners have provided a tempting grouping of prizes. Joe Ciaramitaro, of Captain Joe’s is looking forward to the show and to everyone being part of the waterfront.

seARTS Partner with an Artist Projects Unveiled October 2-11
Over the next week, projects from Partner with an Artist will be unveiled in various events around town.
These six projects were awarded grants in July by the Society for the Encouragement of the Arts (seARTS) to create projects based on Cape Ann’s literary history in partnership with local businesses.
Weather permitting, the first of these projects becomes a reality this afternoon in the front parking lot of the Building Center, where a crane will drop in a “stele” created by artists Susan Frey and Richard Emmanuel. In case of rain, this will take place tomorrow.
Next Thursday, these projects will be discussed at a forum moderated by Peter Anastas at the “green house” that is now part of InterShell’s new location at 54 Commercial St. Anastas is a long-time student and colleague of the literary figures that inspired these artistic installations. Among his many accomplishments, he served as editor of “Maximus to Gloucester: The Letters and Poems of Charles Olson to the Editor of the Gloucester Daily Times, 1962-1969” (Ten Pound Island Books). The forum begins at 7 p.m. and is free and open to the public. He will be joined by the artists who will present the background and evolution of their projects.
On Saturday, Oct. 11, a day full of events is open to the community. Starting at 10 a.m., Emily Sinagra, partnering with InterShell, invites all ages to collaborate with her throughout the day in an interactive, public art installation. Those wishing to participate will use the vacant building at 54 Commercial Street (across from the Chamber of Commerce) to express themselves with a variety of artistic mediums including, paint, lighting, text and found objects. The project is inspired by the “Wharf Rat’s Tale” by Barry Fisher.
From 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., Mark Teiwes, in partnership with Captain Joe & Sons, will present “Faces of the Working Waterfront,” a series of portraits inspired by Vincent Ferrini’s poem “At the Brink.” Teiwes will focus on the strength, struggle and dignity of harborside workers with photographs on display on interior and exterior walls of the East Main Street warehouse. An online audio slide show was made of the subjects reading “At the Brink.” Teiwes also will run a community photo workshop on night photography and environmental portraits on Oct. 8 at 7 p.m. at Pleasant Street Tea Co.
At 2 p.m., Frey and Emmanuel will be available to discuss the “stele,” which is a commemorative sculptural piece representing the life and work of the late Poet Laureate Vincent Ferrini.
From 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., Willie Alexander, in partnership with Virgilio’s, plays a recorded singing of Ferrini’s poems over minimal musical accompaniment on Virgilio’s loudspeaker system on Main Street. Alexander will be there to discuss the project with visitors in the middle of the day. The music will be played again at the evening reception at 54 Commercial Street.
From 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Martin Ray’s installation will take place on the granite rocks in front of the Fitz Henry Lane House on Harbor Loop. The public is invited to view the sculpture named “Maximus [Olson] and The Living Poem [Ferrini].” Ray will be there to discuss his work with visitors.
At 6:30 p.m. Ian McColl will present the “Telling of the North Star” at Dogtown Bookstore on Main Street. This adaptation of Ferrini’s play encompasses prerecorded text and dialogue, projected imagery and live action in an interpretation of Ferrini’s epic description of an ancient Gloucester Ghost Ship’s return to salvage one of its own.
The Oct. 11 event will culminate with a celebration back at the “green house” at 54 Commercial Street beginning at 7:15 p.m. At that point, the space will have been transformed throughout the day and all are invited to join in the festivities and enjoy the new space.

Yesterday we got this spotted lobster in. They are rare but not nearly as rare as the blue ones or the double crusher clawed lobsters.

Whiting Up Close and Personal
Whiting looks almost prehistoric, straight out of Jurassic Park.
It happens to be my very favorite fish to eat. Headed and scaled and fried up. The flaky white meat falls right off its bone and you eat it like smelt, as if you were eating corn on the cob.
Whiting Up Close and Personal, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
This fish was a big part of our family’s business where many local people were employed. With the big increases in water and sewer rates, it just didn’t make financial sense to process fish in Gloucester so we started shipping the whiting to New York back in the eighties and nineties.

Blue Claw Lobster Regenerating Photos
We got a lobster in yesterday that had a vibrant blue claw growing. It was a smaller claw that is in the process of regenerating but the blue was one of the deepest blue colors that I have ever seen on a lobster.

seARTS Partnership With Mark Teiwes
Congratulations to six local artists who have been awarded $9,000 from the Society for the Encouragement of the Arts to create site-specific projects based on Cape Ann ’s literary history. seARTS co-jurors – Susan Erony and Henry Ferrini were extremely pleased with the applicant pool which embraced the subject matter with enthusiasm. All but one project are using work of Vincent Ferrini –though in very different ways – evidence of his tremendous and lasting impact on the community. Each artist will show their work in collaboration with a local business. Some artists have already engaged a business partner but there are several still searching for the right match for their project. seARTS welcomes inquiries from interested business collaborators in any of the projects below that indicate partner/location to be determined. Business partners must be in downtown Gloucester or on the waterfront. The projects will be presented at an opening reception in October.
The recipients and partners are as follows:
Mark Teiwes, ( Beverly ): – Partner – Captain Joe & Sons, E. Gloucester . Multimedia project on State Fish Pier

Mark has also offered to run a community photo workshop on night photography and environmental portraits.
Willie Alexander, ( Gloucester ) – Partner on Main Street to be determined
Willie will produce a recorded singing of Ferrini’s poems over minimal musical accompaniment to be inserted into a soundtrack to be played on Main Street . There will be a live performance at the opening.
Susan Frey and Reverend Richard Emmanuel: ( Gloucester ) – Partner – Building Center- Gloucester
Susan and Rev. Emmanual will design and construct a Steele, an upright monument with text, using Ferrini’s poem, This House. They will be using scrap wood from the lumber yard and the sculpture will be in the corner of the parking lot near the Visitor’s booth. The sculpture will be 8x8x18’.
Martin Ray: ( Gloucester ) Building Center and other location to be determined.
Martin will create granite portraits of Olson and Ferrini on the grounds of the FHL house. The installation includes two foot tall granite carved “beach pebbles” inlaid with bronze and copper. These will be accompanied by bronze plaques with biographical and interpretive text.
Emily Sinagra: ( Gloucester ) – Partner and location to be determined
Emily will develop a theatrical performance based on The Wharf Rat’s Tale by R. Barry Fisher to be performed in nontraditional spaces. The story is about life on the waterfront during the Depression. The ensemble piece will continue beyond grant period. Emily would like to use local youth as the actors.
Ian McColl: ( Gloucester ) Dogtown Books windows and other locations to be determined.
Ian will produce a Shadow play production of Ferrini’s Telling of the North Star with expanded visual imagery and an original score. The opening performance will be in the window of Dogtown Books, visible and audible from the street.
The Partner with an Artist Program has evolved over the last 3 years with increasing interest and new thinking from artist applicants. This year, sixteen proposals were judged on quality and clarity of the project idea; inclusion of relevant literary texts in the conception or manifestation of the project; innovative adaptation/expansion of the artists’ work to meet the criteria of the grant; a willingness and ability to be site-specific in the project proposal; and merit of previous work.
The Partner with an Artist (PWA) program is funded by seARTS and through grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council John and Abigail Adams Art Program and the Boston Foundation Bruce J. Anderson Fund. For more information about seARTS, contact Sara Young, Executive Director ed@searts.org or visit www.searts.org .
