So Joey asked about the Parsons Street murals

Posted on by Catherine

 

 

Last year Joey wondered about the wall murals on Parsons (walkway between Main and Rogers) added after the 350ft’ street temporary mural.

You can listen to Joey here: GloucesterCast 243 Taped 9/25/17 Timestamped 43:38 Parson’s Street Mural

The Parsons Street wall murals were created by a lot of people including fine artists, teachers, and kids: Jason Burroughs, Laura Donworth, Kyra Moyer, Aiden Symes, Avery Mcniff, Teen Artist Guild, and Cape Ann Art Haven summer kids. One request from the building owner was that they include a reference to Gloucester’s Man at the Wheel as part of the overall composition. The long mural features iconic Gloucester architecture, history and themes (see the great whale!) . The Man at the Wheel depiction was pulled out and featured on its own; locals aware of the former owner’s affiliation with Sam Adams enjoyed the extra nod. Photos above are from 2015.

Last Minute Block Party Updates – Win Cool Prizes

Posted on by Vickie & Peter

Here’s a new feature for tomorrow’s (SAT) Downtown Block Party: Win Cool Prizes!
The Block Party’s new Marketplace at the Cape Ann Savings Bank Plaza between Hancock and Porter Streets (see map) has a new game called Glosta-opoly played on a brand new Monopoly-style board created by members of Art Haven.  

You can play the game for free and win wicked-cool Prizes including CDs by top local artists including Chelsea Berry, Julie Dougherty, Michael Thomas Doyle, Allen Estes, Tom Hauck, Orleans “Still the One Live”, Renee & Joe, T Max, plus a limited edition Celebrate Gloucester 2010 2 DVD set, limited edition Celebrate Gloucester 2007 Staff T-Shirt, hats & shirts & pens from Gloucester Engineering, jar openers and shot glasses from Ryan and Wood, creations and services from the Teen Artist Guild, gift certificates for From Dust to Dawn Cleaning services from Holly Ciancola and Whitmarsh Lock and Safe, energy bars and candies from Sunny Variety, Mardi Gras beads and glow sticks from Cape Ann Lanes, free car washes from Maplewood Car Wash, gift certificates from downtown merchants and more . . .

Revised Entertainment Schedule
There have been a couple of minor changes to the entertainment — click here for all entertainment by stage.  Click here for all musical entertainment by time.

Don’t sweat the parking.  I’m always surprised when I hear people complain about parking in Gloucester.  Honestly, I’ve never had trouble finding a parking space — not even during Fiesta.  Last night I went to the Harbor Loop Concert.  I got there after it started on a beautiful summer night in the height of the tourist season when every local hotel is full and what do you know?  I found a parking space on Rogers Street at Harbor Loop!  In fact I had my choice of at least half a dozen free (after 6) spots on Rogers within earshot of the music.  Plus there were plenty of spaces at I4-C2.  So don’t worry about the few Main Street parking spots that are not available during the Block Party.  Trust me.  You won’t have a problem finding a space within a couple minutes walk.

LOCAL TEEN ARTISTS SHOW OFF CREATIVE SKILLS AND NEW WORKS

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

DSC_1372The Teen Artist Guild (TAG) fall gallery opening at Cape Ann Art Haven isn’t going to be your typical wine and cheese gallery opening. Instead, on October 1 at 6pm, you can join these local young artists to see them revealing new series’ and creating new works on the spot.
“We’re not just going to be selling artwork,” says 18-year-old artist Jason Burroughs. “We’re doing some cool new stuff and we want everyone to come be a part of the process.”
The TAG program was started by Cape Ann Art Haven in 2010 as a summer program. In its initial installment, a group of local student artists began learning how to market their artwork and sold work at the Cape Ann Farmer’s Market. Each student sold their original creations throughout the summer and donated 10% of their proceeds to a local non-profit of their choice.
Throughout the past two months, the program has expanded to include a small gallery at Art Haven’s 180B Main Street studio space and visits to Amy’s Coffee and Cones on Rocky Neck. The TAG students spent four Thursday nights with their work on display at the ice cream shop as a part of Nights on the Neck, a summer celebration of the historic art colony.
As fall approaches, some of these students are starting classes at local art schools while others go back to middle and high school. They’re all continuing to exercise their creative minds and get some real world experience of what it’s like to be a working artist in today’s world.
For more information about the Teen Artist Guild or Cape Ann Art Haven, you can visit www.arthaven.org or call (978) 283-3888.
