WE
HAVE OPENED A SECOND GALLERY AT 18 PLEASANT STREET, GLOUCESTER
IN 2002, ADJACENT TO THE CAPE ANN HISTORICAL SOCIETY
State
of the Art Gallery & Sculpture Garden opened in the summer of 1998 in historic
Rocky Neck Art Colony, in Gloucester, Massachusetts, on beautiful
Cape Ann. The colony is the oldest working art colony in the
United States.
Rocky
Neck's charm and ambiance has been luring artists to its picturesque
shores for over one hundred and fifty years. These artists range
from Fitz Hugh Lane, who painted here in the 1840's through Frederick
Mulhaupt who lived in Rocky Neck and painted the schooners in
the early 1900's, to Emile Gruppe, who made the neck his home
and painted into the 1970's. Some of the other well known artists
who painted in the area are: Winslow Homer, Childe Hassam, Maurice
Prendergast, Jane Peterson, Cecilia Beaux, and a host of other
professional artists.
Sculptors,
such as Katherine Lane Weems, Anna Hyatt Huntington, George Demetrios,
Paul Manship, Charles Grafly, Anthony de Francisci, and Walker
Hancock, who bought their stone from local quarries in Lanesville
and Rockport made their home or summered on Cape Ann. Leonard
Craske created Gloucester's famous landmark sculpture, "The
Man at the Wheel" a permanent memorial to fishermen lost
at sea, in his studio in Rocky Neck. Writers of the stature of
Louisa May Alcott and Rudyard Kipling frequented the "Neck".
The
GALLERY
is presented
in an antique and GARDEN setting.
Over thirty artists and sculptors are represented. Traditional
contemporary paintings and figurative sculpture are displayed
in a multi-tiered garden and the living space of an antique gothic
three-storied home. The second floor gallery changes monthly
to feature the works of one of the artists. Weekly evening demonstrations
n oil, watercolor, marble carving, clay, wood carving and Japanese
sand painting are given by artists and sculptors in the garden.
See EXHIBITS for times and dates of current exhibitions.
All work can be viewed under the artists biographies. Prices
of works not shown can be found in the PRICE LISTS.
The
gallery's owners, Sharon Pablo and Roger Armstrong, were board
members of North Shore Arts Association (N.S.A.A.), an art association
which opened its doors in 1922 and currently has a membership
of over 650 artists, patron, and associate members. Sharon was
the Secretary and Roger was the President of that organization for three years.
Both Sharon and Roger were committee members of the Frederick J. Mulhaupt Retrospective
Exhibition held at the N.S.A.A. from August 14 - October
24, 1999.
We
consider ourselves to be as much of a museum and classroom as
a sales gallery; browsing and sitting are encouraged.
All
work is original. Artists and sculptors biographies are included
in the sale of paintings and sculpture. All paintings are framed
unless otherwise indicated. Catalogs, slides, pictures, videos,
and electronic images can be mailed or downloaded for client
perusal. Payment structures and commissions are easily arranged.
Visa is accepted.
This
Website was designed by Sharon Pablo. The site is easy
to navigate. It includes over 1200 images of paintings and sculpture
that can be seen at our gallery. Visitors and inquiries are always welcome.
