Gloucester MA— The Rocky Neck Art Colony is pleased to present a new show called All My Life at the Cove Gallery (37 Rocky Neck Ave.). The exhibition is curated by Rebecca Nagle and features the work of six Cape Ann artists, September 14 through October 15.
All My Life reflects the journey and process of an artist. It demonstrates what inspires an artist to create the way they create. A wide range of media, materials and subject matter express the individuality of each artist, each aiming to prompt thought and dialogue with the work. Each painting, sculpture and photograph originates in human memory, emotion and personal experiences.
The public is invited to celebrate the artists and their work at the Opening Reception on Thursday, September 14 from 5-7 PM.
Exhibiting Artists:
Rebecca Anne Nagle, Cindy Journey, Linda Lagano Sojda, Sinikka Nogelo, Cindy Efinger, Thomas Rutigliano
Special Events:
Opening Reception: Thursday, September 14, 5 – 7 PM
The opening reception will feature beer/wine/soft beverages and light food as well as live music by Karen Ristuben. A tent set up outside the gallery will allow for ample space for visitors and artists to mingle.
Artist Talk: Sunday, September 24, 1-2 PM
There will be an Artist Talk and Afternoon Tea at Cove Gallery, sponsored by Tea Camilla of Beverly.
