SUMMARY:Trumpeters of Sedition: How the Printing Press created a Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Gary Gregory\, proprietor of the Printing Office of Edes & Gill\, will talk about the role of the printing press in the American Revolution.

Gary will use his replica of an English Common Press\, a wooden hand-press that now resides at the Museum of Printing\, to demonstrate the technology in use at the time of the American Revolution. \nThis event is funded in part by the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism (MOTT) through the Massachusetts 250 Grant Program. This program supports the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution through programs that highlight historic themes of revolution and independence\, celebrate significant ‘firsts’ in Massachusetts and commemorate the state’s past 250 years.

SUMMARY:Walking Tour: Historic Dogtown A Walk Back in Time
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, June 29\, 2025\n10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.\nBabson Boulder Parking\nCherry Street\, Gloucester\, MA 01930\n$10 for CAM Members\, $20 for non-members\nRegistration Required \nOn Cape Ann\, the name “Dogtown” conjures up many things — vast woodlands and trails; stone walls and cellar holes; tales of witches and widows; an ill-fated bullfighter; pastures\, picnics and blueberries; a sea of rocks. Dogtown is all of these things and more. But first\, it is a place where proud people once lived and worked\, at the center of Gloucester\, for nearly 150 years – until it became “Dogtown” and died out. \nThis tour will take you down the main roads of this early settlement\, to meet some of the people\, see where they lived and hear their stories. You will learn how Dogtown got its name\, why people left\, and how it has changed in the 200 years since the last house came down. You will hear about writers and artists who were inspired here\, and reservoirs that were built here. Finally\, you will see some of the inspirational word-boulders along the trails that are the lasting legacy of entrepreneur and philanthropist Roger Babson (1875-1967)\, and a symbol of the enduring nature of this special place called Dogtown. \nThis walking tour is three miles and will take approximately two hours. The route is over hiking trails that are generally easy\, but uneven\, with rocks and roots underfoot. Hiking attire and footwear advised; also\, walking poles if you use them. Bring water and insect repellent. The tour will start at the main entrance to Dogtown\, off Cherry Street. Meet at the parking lot a short distance up Dogtown Road\, on the right. There is parking for a few cars in the lot; otherwise\, park along the right side of the road\, after the parking lot\, or along Cherry St. Please arrive 10 minutes early. The tour will depart on time. \nPhoto Credit: Marsden Hartley (1877-1943). Summer Outward Bound\, Gloucester\, 1931\, oil on board. Collection of Cape Ann Museum. Gift of the estate of Robert L.

SUMMARY:GA-20 with Jay Aptt and The MaliCaminos
DESCRIPTION:7/5/25\nReserved Seating $35\nGA Standing $20\n7:00pm Doors / 8:00pm Show\n18+ / Positive I.D. Required \nGA-20 \nSince 2018\, GA-20 has been at the forefront of a traditional Blues revival. The dynamic throwback trio have long been disciples of the place where traditional Blues\, Country and Rock ‘n’ Roll intersect. “We make records that we would want to listen to\,” says guitarist Matt Stubbs. “It’s our take on the song-based traditional electric Blues we love.” Stubbs\, along with guitarist & vocalist Cody Nilsen and drummer Josh Kiggans\, strive to bring traditional Blues to the front lines of the modern roots music scene. “The focus for us has always been on the story\, the melody\, and on creating a mood\,” Stubbs continues. “Traditional Country and Soul have all had these massive recent revivals. We want to be part of doing that for traditional Blues music.” \nGA-20 has drawn inspiration for their old-school sounds from the music they love by artists such as Otis Rush\, J.B. Lenoir\, Howlin’ Wolf\, Junior Wells\, Hound Dog Taylor\, Earl Hooker\, Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson and so many others. Performing with what feels like reckless abandon\, GA-20 brings a timeless immediacy to every song they play with a sound that continues to grow and evolve. The band uses vintage instruments and amps to produce their authentic sound\, and favours traditional recording techniques\, like recording live off the floor together in one room\, to help recreate that energy and sonic connection. \nIn their short history\, GA-20 have been 3x #1 Billboard Blues chart toppers\, 4x Boston Music Award winners for Best Blues Act\, and have received multiple wins and nominations at the Blues Music Awards\, Blues Blast Awards\, New England Blues Awards\, and have ascended streaming and radio charts at home and internationally. Medium.com has appropriately declared\, “This is the kind of music that travels through time while taking from the era where it was born and turning it into something fresh. Dirty and raw…timeless and modern.”’s sound. \nJAY APTT AND THE MALICAMINOS \nJay Aptt discovered his love for cars\, guitars\, the MaliCamino\, blues\, rock and soul at 16. \nSince days and years ago\, hauling equipment in the MaliCamino\, he’s shared the stage with greats\, James Montgomery\, Johnny A of Peter Wolf/Yardbirds\, Joe Nadeau of Kenny Wayne Shepherd band\, Mike O’Connell\, Lois Lane\, Barrence Whitfield\, Erinn Brown\, Lisa Marie\, Borderland Allstars and more. \nThe Malicamino…a creation of brother Dave’s ass haulin’\, tire smokin’ ’78 Malibu and a Diablo Red El Camino. Bastardized and hand cut smoldering to create the unmistakable\, head turning Malicamino. \nRiding shotgun is his long time partner in crime Ben [OB1] Ferrini on bass – who sometimes rode in the back holding down the equipment on the road.

SUMMARY:Yoga and Meditation in the Galleries at PEM
DESCRIPTION:Know before you go\nIn-person event\nLocation: East India Marine Hall \nMembers $5; nonmembers $10\nAdvance tickets are required; space is limited. \nPlease note that this session will begin with meditation\, followed by yoga. \nThis class is designed to be accessible to all ages and abilities. No prior experience with yoga or meditation is necessary – all are welcome! Limited seating will be available in the gallery during meditation. \nSealed water is permitted in the gallery during yoga and meditation. \nWe recommend that you wear comfortable clothing and silence your phone or devices for this program to get the most out of this mindfulness practice. \nJoin us for a morning of yoga and meditation! Deepen your breath and take in the serenity of the historic East India Marine Hall during a yoga class led by Soul City Yoga. Then\, stick around for a special guided mindfulness session in the gallery from 10:15–10:45 am. \nAbout the Gallery\nEast India Marine Hall was built using local Cape Ann granite in 1824-25 by the architect Thomas Waldron Sumner. It was the headquarters for the East India Marine Society\, PEM’s founding organization. This group of 22 sea captains and traders sailed all over the world from Salem and started the oldest collecting museum in America in 1799. East India Marine Hall is the historical and physical heart of the museum; over time\, added gallery spaces have surrounded it. Recently restored to its original elegance\, the building is a National Historic Landmark. \nEast India Marine Hall currently houses nine carved ship’s figureheads that are juxtaposed with amplified music and sea ballads as a part of Scottish artist Susan Philipsz’s exhibition If I With You Would Go. Philipsz uses sound to heighten awareness of space\, emotion and memory. Her choice of a song about a young woman lured away to sea is a mythical and cautionary echo of the mercantile and maritime history embodied in this historic hall. \nObserving art can induce a “flow state” of mindfulness and activate the same part of the brain that more traditional mindfulness practices\, like meditation and yoga\, do. Join us on the first Sunday morning of every month (second Sundays for holiday weekends) in a guided practice of “mindful looking.” Come be still\, relax and connect more deeply with artworks from PEM’s collection.

SUMMARY:Six Ways of Seeing the World
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Gabrielle Rossmer\nExhibit Dates: July 10 – August 3\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, July 10\, 5-7pm\nClosing Event & Artist Talks: Thursday\, July 31\, 5-7pm\nThe Cove Gallery\, 37 Rocky Neck\, Gloucester\nExhibit Hours: Thursday-Saturday\, 12-7pm; Sunday-Monday\, 12-5pm \nFeaturing: Kathy Archer\, Paul Cary Goldberg\, Donald Gropman\, Sonya Gropman\, Gabrielle Rossmer\, and Constance Vallis \nIn a time marked by uncertainty and transformation\, six artists come together to explore how art can serve as both personal expression and cultural reflection. Six Ways of Seeing the World\, curated by Gabrielle Rossmer\, offers a compelling look at how visual art helps us process\, respond to\, and shape our understanding of the contemporary world. \nThrough diverse media—painting\, photography\, sculpture\, drawing\, and collage—these six artists examine the intersections of inner life and external forces. While their approaches and mediums vary\, they share a commitment to introspection\, craft\, and a meaningful engagement with today’s fractured landscape. \nTogether\, these artists demonstrate six unique but interconnected ways of seeing. Their works push the boundaries of their chosen media\, reflecting on today’s world with vulnerability\, insight\, and artistic rigor.
