Manchester Historical Museum Update
If you haven’t heard yet, we will be open this Saturday, April 10 (10-2), to offer time to those who couldn’t come during our weekday hours. I’ve attached a poster to share that announces that. The last day will be Friday, April 16. As of today, there have been 43 sales – some large, some small.
The week of April 20 – 23 will be “take down” of the art show Tues- Friday (10-3). Since this process will be quicker and more of us are getting vaccinations, I’ll just let folks come when they can to gather their items.
Your support means a lot to us. In August, I’ll be sending our sign-up forms for the Fall Art Show that will open in October and run for 6 weeks.

SEE upcoming trails & Sails events here (updated continually)
Manchester Historical museum will be offering self guided tours: Download your choice of 3 self guided walking tours in the downtown area of Manchester-by-the-Sea from the Manchester Historical Museum website
Meanwhile Ipswich Marini Farm is featuring a farm forest ice cream hike.
There are no Rockport or Gloucester listings that I see- however, the Sargent House Museum is offering walking tours downtown September 26, October 3, 10, and 17 to sites and historic buildings associated with Judith Sargent Murray. It’s not too late for the museum to add the Sept. 26th one into the mix of free events for Trails & Sails 2020, or folks to plan “while you’re at it” activities. (Perhaps they’ll waive the $10 on that day for Trails & Sails participants?) The HarborWalk is open!

Manchester Historical Museum Re-opening
Manchester Historical Museum is Re-opening
Manchester Historical Museum at 10 Union Street is thrilled to reopen on Tuesday, July 14, and would like to invite you to come view the current art exhibit and sale – “Cape Ann through Artists’ Eyes.” Come enjoy paintings and photography from 18 local artists. This free exhibit will run through September during our regular hours Tuesday – Fridays (10 – 3). As artwork sells, new items will be hung, so come a couple of times during this run. For more info contact the Manchester Historical Museum.
In order to comply with CDC and state guidelines, guests and staff must wear face coverings while inside, practice social distancing, sanitize hands upon entrance and register for Covid tracing. We will be limiting the number of people in the exhibit hall which may mean a short wait in our lovely courtyard before entering. The historic Trask House will remain closed for the time being. Limited archive research will resume but will be by appointment only.

Manchester Historical Museum Art Show Updat
From Beth Welin, Director of the Manchester Historical Museum
We will extend the art show for at least a week depending on how long most places are shut down. We’ll post a new closing reception date in a week or so. No one will come in next week (as we’ve seen yesterday and today), and we want to give you all the best chances for folks to see and buy your work. If you need to take your art as originally planned, feel free to do so. There’s no problem on our end to let the show stay up until mid April. I’ll send a new poster announcing the closing reception in a week or so when we’ve decided on the new date.

Last chance to catch Once Upon a Contest in Manchester-by-the-Sea and temporary public art by Leslie Galacar
Tomorrow is the last day to catch the travel exhibition Once Upon a contest in Manchester. Explore fantastic new children’s books by local authors and artists at the lovely Manchester Historical Museum. Friday will also be the last chance to catch Leslie Galacar’s temporary work consisting of a series of intricate illustrations that progress from the entry to the main gallery. Can you find this one on site?
The exhibition changes with each installation as each locale and architecture is unique and special- as are the programs and public art component. The reading and art exhibit is coming to Essex next, opening on May 4th at TOHP Burnham Library.

These photos are mostly installation views BEFORE the lovely reception for Once Upon a Contest at the Manchester Historical Museum. The show continues through April 26th. There was quite a turn out on that gorgeous sunny Saturday so I fell off duty taking photographs during the party. The Editor of the Manchester Cricket was on site; I will add a link to any story/photos.
