Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

 ~ gloucestereducationfoundation ~ 

The Gloucester Education Foundation (GEF) has welcomed three new members to its Board of Directors and hired a Development Manager as the organization enters its third decade of expanding opportunities for Gloucester students.

Joining the GEF Board as of July 1 are Jeremy McKeen, Sara Seber, and Norah Wylie. Laura Irwin joined the staff in May as Development Manager.

“We are thrilled to welcome Jeremy, Sara, Norah, and Laura to GEF,” said Executive Director Emily Siegel. “Each brings deep experience, strong community connections, and a genuine commitment to public education. Their leadership will be especially valuable as GEF continues supporting innovative programs across the Gloucester Public Schools while advancing the transformational O’Maley Courtyard project.”

Jeremy is a longtime English teacher, writer, and father of three children in the Gloucester Public Schools. He recently completed a term on the Gloucester School Committee and has been involved in community organizations and traditions including the Horribles Parade Committee. During his 25-year career in education, he has served as a coach, union representative, chess club advisor, class advisor, and writing instructor. He is also a published author, editor, and columnist.

Sara is a real estate advisor with Engel & Völkers By the Sea and lives in Lanesville with her daughter, a Plum Cove Elementary School student. Her background includes nonprofit development, event and project management, and community organizing. She has worked with organizations including Backyard Growers, Massachusetts Farm to School, the Cape Ann YMCA, and the Sawyer Free Library. She brings to GEF a strong network of local relationships and a passion for building connections among families and community organizations.

Norah is a retired attorney with decades of experience in education law and public education advocacy. Her career included representing children and families in special education and disability accommodation matters, working on school safety and education issues as an assistant attorney general, and serving for 20 years as Associate Dean for Students at Boston College Law School. She previously served on the Newton School Committee, the Newton Schools Foundation board, and local PTO leadership. She moved to Gloucester full-time four years ago, after owning a home here for 17 years.

As GEF’s new Development Manager, Laura brings more than a decade of experience in nonprofit fundraising, donor relations, grant management, and philanthropic operations. Her previous roles include positions with the Essex County Community Foundation, Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston, FamilyAid Boston, and the Kaiser Permanente Center for Gun Violence Research and Education. At GEF, Laura will help lead annual fundraising, donor stewardship, prospect development, and fundraising systems while supporting the organization’s $3 million capital campaign to renovate the O’Maley Middle School courtyard.

GEF also extends its deep gratitude to outgoing board member Matt Beach, whose term ended on June 30. A longtime supporter of the organization, Matt has been a thoughtful advocate for Gloucester students and helped strengthen GEF’s relationship with Applied Materials, a major supporter of GEF and STEM opportunities for Gloucester students. We look forward to continued collaboration with him in the future!

“Christmas in July” to benefit Cape Ann Kids Holiday Fund

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

 ~ Wellspring House ~ 

Forget waiting until December – The Cape Ann Kids Holiday Fund is getting into the holiday spirit this summer! Action Inc., Pathways for Children, and Wellspring House are thrilled to announce Christmas in July, a fun, festive summer fundraising campaign to make sure every child on Cape Ann receives something special this holiday season. Think ugly sweaters optional, generosity required.

While the days are long and the beaches are busy, Cape Ann’s nonprofit community is already thinking about the 1,400 children across Gloucester, Rockport, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Essex, and Ipswich who deserve a magical holiday season – no matter what their family’s budget looks like. With the cost of housing, groceries, and daily essentials continuing to stretch family budgets thin, getting a head start now means more toys, more books, more pajamas, and more smiles come December.

So, this July, we’re asking Cape Ann to do what it does best, show up for its neighbors, and have a great time while doing it.

About the Cape Ann Kids Holiday Fund

The Cape Ann Kids Holiday Fund is a collaboration between Action Inc., Pathways for Children, and Wellspring House, Inc. For Cape Ann families struggling to make ends meet with prices for daily needs at an all-time high, the Fund’s holiday toy drive provides much-needed relief and helps brighten the holiday season for local children. Over two days this December, nearly 700 parents and caregivers will take part in an in-store toy shopping experience, selecting age-appropriate gifts for more than 1,400 local children from toys donated by community members and gift cards purchased through donations. Volunteers throughout Gloucester, Rockport, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Essex, and Ipswich help sort donations, set up the holiday store, and serve as personal shoppers.

Get Out, Give Back: Benefit Events Across Cape Ann

A growing roster of Cape Ann restaurants, venues, and businesses are hosting Cape Ann Kids benefit events this July, with a percentage of proceeds going directly to the Cape Ann Kids Holiday Fund. From dining out to special events, there are plenty of ways to get involved and make a difference. Confirmed participants include Machaca, Beauport Hotel, Gloucester House, Fox Creek Tavern, The Farm, and more. Participating partners span Gloucester, Rockport, Manchester, Essex, and Ipswich. For the full updated list visit capeannkids.org.

Among the highlights, Christmas in July will take over the Birdseye Rooftop at Beauport Hotel on the evening of Saturday, July 25th for a festive evening of live music, décor, and sunset skies with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Cape Ann Kids Holiday Fund. This 21+ event requires advance tickets.  Details and tickets are available HERE.

The Grand Finale: Concert on Meetinghouse Green

Christmas in July wraps up on Friday, July 31 at 6:00 PM with a magical evening concert as part of Music on Meetinghouse Green, presented by the Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation. The night features a performance by Rhiannon Hurst & Friends, with Pathways for Children as the evening’s beneficiary, every dollar raised goes directly to the Cape Ann Kids Holiday Fund. Everyone is encouraged to bring their lawn chairs, friends, and holiday spirit. In July.

How to Spread the Joy

  • Get out and give back at a participating Cape Ann Kids benefit event this July
  • Join us for the July 31 concert on Meetinghouse Green in Gloucester

Obituary and Memorial Service Information For David Cox

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

David Cox, 89, of Gloucester, MA, passed away peacefully at Seacoast Nursing & Rehabilitation Center on the evening of July 4, 2026. David was a devoted father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend to many. 

David was the son of Frank L. Cox and Annabell MacAuley Cox of Gloucester MA. 

David was a proud member of the US Marine Corp Reserve. 

For 35 years, David was the proprietor of Main Street Arts & Antiques, where his sharp eye and passion for antiquities, art, books, beautiful objects, postcards and historical ephemera, made him well known to collectors from far and wide.

Those who knew David best, knew him first as a photographer— rarely seen without two cameras around his neck. David navigated the world through his lens. Much of his work captured the events, people, sports, landscapes, flowers on the boulevard and the nature on Cape Ann. He generously shared that gift with the community. He loved photographing the Gloucester High School football team and cheerleaders. 

David was, by every account, a character — unmistakable and unforgettable to everyone who crossed his path. 

David is survived by his children, Kimberly A. Cox of Gloucester, MA, Alison L. Cox and her husband Michael P. O’Dea of Gloucester MA, and his son, David M. Cox, of Sag Harbor, New York and many nieces and nephews. 

He was predeceased by his grandson, Tyler M. Cox, his parents and by his siblings, Frank Cox, Norman Cox, Theo Lovell, Louise Ingham, Christine Lane, Blanche Shaw and Marjorie Champagne. 

We would also like to extend our gratitude to the kind and caring staff at Seacoast and to the Care Dimension hospice team.

Memorial Service to celebrate David’s life will be held at the Annisquam Village Church on September 12th, 2026 at 10:00am. Reception following the service.

In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to one of the organizations that were near and dear to his heart, including the Gloucester High School Athletic Department, The Generous Gardeners, the Friends of Seacoast or Care Dimensions.

Mayor Announces Free Parking on Main Street (Zone 6 & Zone 2) for the Holiday Season

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Mayor Greg Verga is pleased to announce that beginning Thursday, November 27, 2025, the City of Gloucester will offer free 2-hour parking on Main Street in Zone 6 and Zone 2 through Wednesday, December 31, 2025. The initiative is designed to encourage visitors and residents alike to shop, dine and stroll the downtown corridor during the holidays, while supporting our local businesses and fostering a vibrant community environment.

Key Details

  • Free parking will apply in the two-hour metered spaces on Main Street within Zone 6 and Zone 2 from November 27 through December 31.
  • Even though parking fees are waived, vehicles must still register their license plate number and time either at the on-street kiosk or via the Flowbird Parking app. 
  • The free two-hour session is limited to once per day per vehicle.
  • The two-hour time limit will be strictly enforced. Vehicles parked longer than two hours will be subject to standard enforcement procedures.
  • At the kiosks, users will press the check mark to start, enter their vehicle’s license plate number, press the check mark to continue, and finally press the check mark to activate the two-hour session (no payment is required/accepted). The app functions in a similar fashion: you log in, select the Main Street zone, enter your plate and confirm to activate the two-hour session. 
  • The City asks all parkers to comply with the time-limit and registration process to ensure fairness and availability of spaces for all visitors and residents.

Why This Matters

This free-parking offer is part of the City’s broader holiday activation plan: by reducing the barrier to access downtown, the City is supporting Main Street-area merchants, restaurants and galleries and encouraging foot traffic in the heart of Gloucester. At the same time, the enforcement of the two-hour limit protects turnover, ensuring that parking remains accessible through the busy season.

Additional Reminders

  • The registration of your license plate and time is still required—even though payment is waived. Failure to register may result in a violation.
  • While Sundays and legal holidays already enjoy free parking across all zones (under normal conditions) in Gloucester, this Main Street waiver is an additional convenience for the holiday period. 
  • A free 20-minute session remains available in all other zones and parking regulations will continue to be enforced in these areas.
  • Please always check the posted signs in the area to confirm the applicable zone and pay/registration requirements—these remain part of the daily regulation system. 

“We want everyone to enjoy the spirit of the season and support our downtown businesses. By offering free parking along Main Street and maintaining the two-hour limit, we strike the right balance between convenience for visitors and continuing turnover so our Main Street remains vibrant and accessible,” said Mayor Verga. “I encourage all of our residents and guests to plan their visits, register their plate and time, and enjoy a holiday season filled with local culture, shopping, and community.”

On Thursday, November 20 from 5:00 to 6:30 PM, the Library will present a film screening and panel discussion of Timeline Cape Ann: Sawyer Free Library in its Community Room.

Produced by Kory Curcuru of 1623 Studios, Timeline Cape Ann: Sawyer Free Library traces the remarkable story of Gloucester’s public library—from its 19th-century beginnings in the Gloucester Lyceum to its role today as a vibrant civic and cultural hub. The short documentary explores how a small-town vision grew into a cornerstone of learning, access, and community connection.

The film situates the Sawyer Free Library within the broader story of American public libraries—beginning with Benjamin Franklin’s 1731 subscription library, which sparked a movement for shared knowledge and free access to books. By the early 1800s, the “Lyceum movement” swept New England, bringing citizens together for lectures, debate, and education. Gloucester quickly joined in. In 1830, residents established the Gloucester Lyceum, which merged Franklin’s ideals with this new spirit of civic learning.

The Library’s evolution accelerated under the leadership and generosity of Samuel Elwell Sawyer, a Gloucester native and philanthropist who made access to books free for all. His lasting legacy includes the donation of the Saunders House, which remains part of the Library campus today, and the 1872 incorporation of the Gloucester Lyceum and Sawyer Free Library, with a charter promising it would remain free forever.

Timeline Cape Ann also highlights the Library’s continued resilience and innovation—surviving fires, embracing technology, and expanding services through the 20th and 21st centuries. From WPA murals and children’s programs to its newly completed, state-of-the-art renovation and expansion, the Sawyer Free Library remains a living institution shaped by generations of readers, learners, and citizens.

Following the screening, Curcuru will be joined by Sawyer Free Library Local History Librarian Julie Travers and local historian and author Wayne Soini for a panel discussion and audience Q&A exploring the Library’s enduring role in Gloucester’s civic life.

This free public event offers a fascinating look at how one man’s generosity and a community’s shared commitment helped shape the heart of Gloucester.

Space is limited; registration is requested at SawyerFreeLibrary.org.

Film Screening and Panel Discussion:
Thursday, November 20, 2025
5:00–6:30 PM

City of Gloucester Expands Staff to Strengthen Community and Economic Vitality

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

New Beaches and Parks Operations Manager and Economic Development Coordinator will enhance the city’s open spaces and support local business growth.

GLOUCESTER – Mayor Greg Verga is pleased to announce the hiring of Kansas Ricci-Munn as the City’s Operations Manager for Beaches and Parks and Emily Sloane as the City’s Economic Development Coordinator.

“Emily and Kansas bring a wide range of knowledge and experience to the team, and I’m confident they’ll make a real difference in their new roles,” said Mayor Greg Verga. “Our open spaces and local businesses are among the most important parts of our community, and these two new positions will play a key role in advancing the initiatives that strengthen and support them.”

Ricci-Munn, a Gloucester resident, has been a valued member of the City’s lifeguard team for nearly two decades, bringing experience and creativity to the role. He has worked as Lifeguard Coordinator for the City of Gloucester since 2022 and has been instrumental in the development of the program and team. Through his leadership of the lifeguard program, he has prioritized training, staff engagement, and communication.

“It brings me great joy to serve the City of Gloucester,” said Ricci-Munn. “ We have a special community and I’m proud to be part of it”

As the City’s new Operations Manager for Beaches and Parks, Ricci-Munn will be responsible for the care and oversight of some of Gloucester’s most well-used public spaces. From maintaining the safety and accessibility of our shorelines to supporting the upkeep of our parks,  including Stage Fort Park, he will help ensure these areas remain welcoming and enjoyable for residents and visitors. He will play a key role in the implementation of Gloucester’s Beach Management Plan — ensuring our beaches are safe, well-maintained, and welcoming for all residents and visitors.

Sloane, a native of Gloucester, brings over 20 years of experience driving economic growth, strengthening the workforce, and empowering communities. Most recently she supported studies intended to promote global food security as Markets Advisor at Tetra Tech, following nearly a decade of experience in international economic development and humanitarian program management work — specifically within the nonprofit or international NGO (INGO) sector. As Economic Development Coordinator, she will play a key role supporting Gloucester’s economic growth and long-term community goals. She will focus on implementing many of the City’s recently completed strategic plans, including the Municipal Harbor Plan, Local Rapid Recovery Plan, and Comprehensive Plan, while advancing the creation of a Downtown Business Improvement District (BID).

“After two decades of working on economic development projects worldwide, I am truly excited to be focusing on my home community. Gloucester has so many smart, engaged residents, and I look forward to partnering with them to build a stronger economic future for us all,” said Sloane.

In this role, Sloane will also work to support Gloucester’s existing maritime industry while helping to guide opportunities in the emerging blue economy, ensuring that Gloucester continues to honor its working waterfront heritage while preparing for a sustainable economic future.

Sloane and Ricci-Munn officially started with the City of Gloucester on October 6, 2025.

Sawyer Free Library Launches Monthly Artist Program with Exhibit by Artists Erin Luman and Laureen Maher Bowie “Volume One”

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

 ~ Sawyer Free Library ~ 

Artist Reception on Thursday, November 6th, 5:00pm in the Library’s Matz Gallery

The Sawyer Free Library proudly presents Volume One, the inaugural exhibition in its new Monthly Artist Program—marking a vibrant beginning for the Library’s reimagined Matz Gallery and its renewed commitment to the arts. Featuring Gloucester artists Erin Luman and Laureen Maher Bowie, Volume One will be on view November 2 through December 29, 2025.

There will be an Artist Reception on Thursday, November 6, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. in the Matz Gallery at the Sawyer Free Library, 2 Dale Avenue in Gloucester. The public is invited to attend this special event. No registration is needed.

Volume One celebrates both the creative spirit of the community and the innovative transformation of the Sawyer Free Library itself, which has just reopened following a two-year, $28 million renovation and expansion.

Both artists began their creative journeys years ago by exhibiting in the Library’s Monthly Artist Program. Returning now to inaugurate the revitalized Matz Gallery, they reexamine their art through a fresh lens—bridging past and present in this inspiring debut show.

About the Artists
Gloucester-based contemporary artist Erin Luman weaves memory and daily life into evocative scenes that invite viewers to pause and reflect. What began as a fascination with the weathered cottages of Long Beach has evolved into a body of work capturing small, intimate moments—a century-old bathroom sink, beach towels drying in the sun, or glimpses of lived spaces both personal and universal. While her upcoming winter exhibition at Endicott College will spotlight the studios of local makers, Volume One offers a deeply personal collection drawn from the in-between moments that inspire her.

Laureen Maher Bowie, an award-winning local painter and celebrated colorist, captures the beauty and grit of Gloucester in richly layered oils. Her iconic painting, We Dive at Five, depicting local youth jumping off from the Good Harbor Beach footbridge at high tide, will be displayed publicly for the first time at this exhibition. Maher Bowie’s work has been featured in Exhibit Art New England and will appear in the upcoming Rockport Art Association & Museum National Juried Show.

As part of the Library’s renewed commitment to supporting local arts and culture, the Monthly Artist Program will feature rotating exhibitions that highlight both emerging and established regional artists. The newly formed Matz Committee will help guide future exhibitions, ensuring that the space remains a vibrant showcase for creativity and connection. Local and regional artists interested in exhibiting may submit expressions of interest to matzgallery@sawyerfreelibrary.org.

Volume One serves as an exciting kickoff to this initiative—and to the holiday season—with 25% of all sales benefiting the Sawyer Free Library. The exhibition has already drawn enthusiastic community response and stands as a fitting tribute to the Library’s long-standing role as a cultural cornerstone of Gloucester.

Visitors are invited to experience Volume One and explore the beautifully expanded Sawyer Free Library at 2 Dale Avenue, Gloucester—a welcoming, inspiring space designed to serve generations to come.

Join the Sawyer Free Library for the Relaunch of the Gloucester Lyceum

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

 ~ Sawyer Free Library ~ 

Placemaking: Our Library In Our Community with Ethan Kent

The Sawyer Free Library will officially relaunch the Gloucester Lyceum with a special event, Placemaking: Our Library In Our Community, featuring internationally renowned placemaking leader Ethan Kent, Executive Director of PlacemakingX.

The program will be held Thursday, October 23, 2025, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. in the Sawyer Free Library’s Community Room, 2 Dale Avenue, Gloucester. Free and open to the public, registration is required at sawyerfreelibrary.org. Space is limited.

The program will begin with remarks by Mr. Kent, followed by interactive conversations with fellow attendees throughout the various spaces of the newly renovated, expanded, and modernized Sawyer Free Library. The perspectives shared in these dialogues will inspire closing insights from Mr. Kent, allowing participants to reflect on how Gloucester can continue to build meaningful, inclusive spaces—starting with its newly reimagined Library.

“Placemaking is about strengthening the connection between people and the places they share,” said Ethan Kent. “It’s about making the spaces we live, the places we love.”

The Gloucester Lyceum: A Tradition Renewed

Founded in 1830, the Gloucester Lyceum once brought thought leaders such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau to Cape Ann. Today, the Sawyer Free Library’s relaunch builds on this proud tradition, offering marquee programs that bring contemporary voices into dialogue with the community.

“The relaunch of the Gloucester Lyceum is about renewing a proud tradition of bringing people together for public discourse within a collaborative forum. True to the notion that a lyceum is “where the city comes to think,” we are honored to welcome Ethan Kent as our first speaker in this new chapter. His work around the world embodies the very spirit of community dialogue and imagination that we hope to cultivate right here in Gloucester,” said Laura Ventimiglia, Chair of the Gloucester Lyceum. 

“Welcoming Ethan Kent to Gloucester to help relaunch our historic Lyceum is both timely and inspiring,” added Mern Sibley, President of the Board of Trustees of the Sawyer Free Library. “Our newly reimagined Library is the hub of the community—offering so much to so many. Ethan’s work demonstrates how meaningful public spaces can bring people together, foster belonging, and strengthen communities.”

About the Sawyer Free Library

For nearly 200 years, the Sawyer Free Library has served Gloucester as a hub of culture, learning, and civic life. Its newly renovated and expanded building continues this mission, providing equal access to resources and programs that support the community’s evolving needs.

Deb Read Named Goetemann Artist in Residence at Rocky Neck

Posted on by James Eves

Does Art Have to Be an Object?

Deborah Read Named Goetemann Artist-in-Residence at Rocky Neck, October 2025

Gloucester, MA — This October, Gloucester-based artist Deborah Read joins the Goetemann Artist Residency at Rocky Neck Art Colony with a deceptively simple but urgent inquiry: Does art have to be an object?

For Read, the answer has long been “not necessarily.” Her interdisciplinary practice—spanning installation, performance, writing, and collaborative projects—frames art as an act of generosity. As co-founder of Gallery RAG in Gloucester and the international foundation Art+Everywhere, she has created platforms that dissolve boundaries between artist and audience, centering collaboration, care, and mutual support.

Read’s projects invite participation and dialogue: immersive performances with Coco Haze that turn galleries into collective canvases, hybrid works with poet Joel Iwaskiewicz where language becomes performance, and community-based installations like Tejido Vivo, which weave craft traditions into living art. In each case, connection outweighs the object itself.

Her foundation Art+Everywhere embodies this vision, described by Read as “a global, artist-led ecosystem built on mutual generosity.” Its mission: expand access to funding, programming, and creative opportunities while removing barriers of gatekeeping institutions. “The challenge is not scarcity, but activation,” Read explains. “Compassion already exists—in hundreds of hands and eyes—ready to help.”

At Rocky Neck, her residency continues this ethos—not as a retreat into isolation, but as a public process of listening, generating, and sharing. “The question is never just ‘what did I make,’ but ‘what did we generate together?’ Generosity is generative—it can enrich lives, spaces, and even economies.”

Public Programs:

  • Artist Talk — October 5 from 4-5PM at Rocky Neck Cultural Center
  • Open Studios — October 27 and 29, from 12-2PM at Gallery RAG
  • Culminating Talk — October 30 at 6PM at Gallery RAG

For Rocky Neck—a community shaped by both maritime labor and artistic innovation—Read’s residency is both a philosophical question and a practical experiment: What if art is not possession, but presence? Not scarcity, but abundance?
