We had a great evening at Art Now Rockport at the historic former Rockport Lodge (now the beautiful home of Abigail Cahill O’Brien & Greg O’Brien) enjoying miniature apple pies & spiked cider while discussing art with local contemporary artists Kurt Ankeny, Renata Fryshara, Nina Samoiloff, Karen Tusinski & Ben Macadam). We even had the chance to sit around the fire for a bit on a cold evening in early Fall before heading inside to hear art advisor Lydia Barry Kutko make a presentation on the local contemporary art scene.

(And if you didn’t join us this year, and would like to know when the next Art Now event is going to take place, be sure to click this link and sign up for our newsletter. Thanks!)
