SUMMARY:Navigating Art & Science | Exhibit at The Cultural Center at Rocky Neck
DESCRIPTION:Navigating Art & Science\nCurated by Cynthia Roth\, Marge Rack\, and Ronda Faloon\nAugust 28 – October 13\nOpening Reception: Sunday\, September 14\, 4-6pm\nGallery Hours: Thursday-Sunday\, 12-5pm\nExhibiting Artists: Resa Blatman\, Daisy Braun\, Georgie Friedman\, Perri Lynch Howard\, Michelle Lougee\, Michelle Samour\, Jessica Straus\, and Christopher Volpe \nNavigating Art & Science featuring eight artists who are deeply involved in scientific inquiry and activism. While local scientists search for ways to help ocean species be more resilient to survive the rapidly changing marine environment\, these artists\, alert to the predicament\, are creating art with urgent messages for stewardship and action. \nThe exhibit coincides with a city-wide initiative STAND UP for Art & Science\, coordinated by Gloucester Marine Genomics Institute volunteers. \nWhile all the work in the exhibition has been created in response to human impact on the environment\, in addition\, several of the artists have been inspired by expeditions to the Arctic Circle and Greenland and residencies in marine laboratories on Cape Ann and beyond. The seven-week exhibit shows how art can transform the impact and implications of science into something concrete\, visible and personal. \nRelated Events\nThe public is invited to celebrate Navigating Art & Science at the Opening Reception on Sunday September 14\, 4–6pm. \nMark your calendars for exhibition-related programming at the Cultural Center:\nSeptember 7\, 7pm: A sneak preview of Ken Riaf’s new play\, Copy and Acknowledge read by Lanes Coven actors \nSunday\, September 28 at 4:00pm: Ocean of Uncertainty: an artists’ panel discussion on moderated by artist and writer\, Chris Volpe

SUMMARY:Sinister Streets: Witch Trials\, Murders & Literary Legends
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a behind-the-scenes tour featuring architectural treasures from PEM’s collection! The only walking tours in Salem that offer entry into historic buildings\, PEM’s tours cover five centuries of happenings and characters from Witch City\, including the infamous trials of 1692. \nSinister Streets: Witch Trials\, Murders and Literary Legends starts by painting the picture of life in 1692 by examining the Gardner-Pingree House. The killing of Joseph White gripped Salem and the country in 1830 with its brawling brothers\, custom-built murder weapons\, conspiring family members and a body that was autopsied three times. Follow PEM’s expert guides into the room where it happened – if you dare! \nThis is an indoor/outdoor tour. Please dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes. We’ll see you rain or shine! \nThis tour involves walking around 0.5 miles\, standing on hard surfaces and the use of stairs. Historic structures are not ADA accessible. Strollers may be used on the tours\, but may not be brought into any of the historic structures. Historic houses may include areas of low lighting and uneven surfaces. Assisted listening devices are available\, and tour guides will use microphones. \nYou can also follow our expert guides on Brick by Brick: Salem’s Hidden Architectural Stories for an in-depth look at architecture across downtown Salem\, from a millionaire’s mansion to a working-class sailor’s house.

SUMMARY:ARTIST TALK: Does Art Have to be an Object? | Deborah Read\, Goetemann Artist-in-Residence
DESCRIPTION:Join Gloucester-based artist Deborah Read at her Artist Talk for an engaging conversation about her art\, process\, and experience as this year’s Goetemann Artist-in-Residence at Rocky Neck Art Colony. Read poses the question: “does art have to be an object?” \nRead’s interdisciplinary practice—spanning installation\, performance\, writing\, and collaborative projects—challenges the notion that art must be an object. As co-founder of Gallery RAG and the international foundation Art+Everywhere\, she has created platforms that dissolve boundaries between artist and audience\, centering collaboration\, care\, and mutual support. \nDuring her residency this October\, Read embraces art as a public process of listening\, generating\, and sharing. “The question is never just ‘what did I make\,’ but ‘what did we generate together?’” she notes. Her work invites us to see generosity as generative—enriching lives\, spaces\, and even economies. \nOther related events:\nOpen Studios — October 27 & 29 from 12-2 PM at Gallery RAG (37 Rocky Neck Ave\, Gloucester)\nCulminating Talk — October 30 at 6 PM at Gallery RAG (37 Rocky Neck Ave\, Gloucester)
