Rockport Art Association
Yesterday I had a great time attending a walk and talk of the Women Artists of New England Show at Rockport MA by the popular art author, Judy Curtis, whose catalog accompanies this show. Judy is excellent at doing these narrations involving art shows and there will be a power-point lecture on Nov. 6th at 7 as well. Her famous husband, David P. Curtis, was on-hand to fill in a few points, between them, they have an amazing knowledge which they thankfully share. Over 60 historic women artists and almost 40 contemporary women artists from NAWA (National Association for Women Artists) complete this exhibit. (Photos below)There were two other shows up at RAA at this time also: Paul Ciaramitaro's exciting and almost sold out show see gulls and the New England Chapter of NAWA.
Cape Ann Museum
After a lunch at the delicious mediterranean restaurant, Azorean, with my friend and prize-winning artist, Karen Berger, we headed off to see the Vincent, Weaver & Gorvett Exhibit at the Cape Ann Museum. Jeff is on my very short list of favorite artists, and Gorvett's woodblocks and prints are so beautiful that I want to try doing it. Yup, I just have to live to be 100 to fit everything into my life that I want to do! (Photos below)
