Upcoming show invitation from Gloucester gallery owner, Jane Deering:
Please join us for the Opening Reception of ‘Lines of Thought | Contemporary Women Artists Draw’ on Thursday August 1st from 5-7pm. The opening will also have Dick Luecke on classical guitar. He’s terrific.
As Art Critic Robert Hughes wrote:
Drawing never dies, it holds on by the skin of its teeth, because the hunger it satisfies – the desire for an active, investigative, manually vivid relation with the things we see and yearn to know about – is apparently immortal…”
The gallery is pleased to include artists—Meg Alexander . Gabrielle Barzaghi . Ann Conneman . Linda Ekstrom . Celia Eldridge . Paige Farrell . Renata Fryshara . Lilian Hsu Anne Johnstone Ann Ledy . Kat O’Connor . Whitney River . Marie Schoeff . Emily Speed . Joan Tanner

Last few days to preview work by 54 artists in person before the Friends of the Sawyer Free Library Annual Art Auction 2021 moves on line #GloucesterMA
The Friends of the Sawyer Free Library Annual Art Auction 2021 is on! 54 artists donated original works of art to help the library.
To generate excitement and get the ball moving, a hallmark of the annual art auction is the group show featured in the lovely Matz Gallery, a remarkable main entrance venue. Temporary shows of work by living artists are rotated monthly. In Gloucester, Massachusetts, art at the threshold greets all library visitors. What a treat to walk though an art exhibit to enter a library! The library interior has boasted major bequests via philanthropists and local big wheels since the library’s namesake benefactor, Samuel Sawyer. Books, art, library and learning were essential and inseparable to the founders.
The contemporary Annual Art Auction group shows begin as silent auctions with starting bids set low (well below retail for some of the participating artists*) ahead of a LIVE event. The idea is the bidding will rise above opening reserves so that The Friends of the Sawyer Free Library Annual Art Auction fundraiser can be a success.

Preview | Silent Auction
DEADLINES APPROACHING – There’s still time to visit, enjoy, and leave a silent bid in person
During the month of September 2021, beautiful art works by 54 artists–which they’ve so generously donated to the Art Auction–were installed in the singular Matz Gallery. Casual, emerging and established creatives are united in their support of our local library. View the art in person. Take notes. You may recognize artists, neighborhoods, a favorite motif or medium. These auctions are a great opportunity for a first time original art buyer or for a collector that helps an artist with a first time sale.
Leave a bid and/or try again when the auction moves on line October 1-5. The highest September bid will be the beginning reserve for the online auction October 1 – 5, 2021.
Immediately followed by ONLINE AUCTION: October 1-5, 2021
Signs of the times – Covid 19 precautions and greater access have spurred the LIVE auction to move online. Visit www.sawyerfreelibrary.org October 1-5, 2021
Bonus- The art is framed and ready to take home and hang after the online auction concludes.
