Gloucester: A Community of Neighborhoods
Saturday afternoon Juni Van Dyke spoke to an auditorium overflowing with friends, fans, and fellow artist quilt makers for the opening celebration of “The Neighborhood Quilt Project.” Juni’s all inclusive message is about the positivity of a community coming together to create beautiful works of art, “bearing testimony to the truth that the gift of creativity resides within all of us.” She shared heart warming tales about the contributing quilters and their work. For all involved in this wonderfully powerful community project it was a very special and joyous day.

On display in the light-filled spacious gallery of the museum’s third floor are the thirteen quilts representing thirteen Gloucester neighborhoods. The Cape Ann Museum is free to Cape Ann residents during the month of January. Do Not Miss This Enchanting Exhibit!
With thanks and gratitude to Cape Ann Museum Director Rhonda Falloon and Curator Martha Oakes for taking “The Neighborhood Quilt Project” under their wings, where the quilts will be well cared for generations to come.
