SUMMARY:The Resurrection of Judy Rhines: An Installation by Gabrielle Barzaghi & Peter Littlefield
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, August 31\, 2025\n11:00 a.m.—5:00 p.m.\nWhite-Ellery House\, CAM Green\n13 Poplar Street\, Gloucester\, MA\nFree and open to the public.\nParking is first come first served. \nVisit the White-Ellery House to experience The Resurrection of Judy Rhines\, a site-specific drawing installation by Gabrielle Barzaghi (drawings) and Peter Littlefield (dramaturgy). It is comprised of a series of cardboard dioramas and texts that recount a fictional story about Judy Rhines who\, in 1796\, suddenly disappears after being accused of witchcraft. Some say she died by throwing herself off a Rowan tree. But there have been rumors of sightings of her in the Dogtown Woods. \nA radio play\, The Beginning of the End (of Judy Rhines) by Peter Littlefield\, accompanies the installation. The play is a mystery set in the 1940s. Judy Rhines is a secretary\, until one day\, losing her job and just about everything else\, she learns the ways of a witch. Cast includes Phoebe Potts\, Sarah Hickler\, Michael McNamara\, and Evan Lurie. Recorded and edited by Michael LaMarche. Music by Evan Lurie. \nKathleen Adams will perform her original song\, “Judy’s Lament\,” with words by Peter Littlefield\, at 2pm on Saturdays\, August 23 and 30. \nArtist Bios:\nGabrielle Barzaghi is a visual artist whose work explores the absurdity\, tragedy\, and beauty of the world. Her imagery is evocative of places just beyond the edge of normal experience and has an often otherworldly sensibility about the nature of time and being. Her work is in public and private collections\, including the Cape Ann Museum. She graduated from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts\, and taught drawing at Suffolk University for over 30 years. Barzaghi is represented by Matthew Swift Gallery. Recently her work was shown in the exhibition Lines of Thought / Contemporary Women Artists Draw at Jane Deering Gallery. Curator Judith Tolnick Champa included Barzaghi’s work in the exhibition Reseeding the City / Ethnobotany in the Urban at the Rhode Island State House. Barzaghi’s recent solo show Fear Game was exhibited at the Matthew Swift Gallery. She also made a gigantic drawn backdrop for Peter Littlefield’s staging of the play Dogtown Common. \nPeter Littlefield is a stage director\, playwright\, and dramaturg. He recently staged Percy MacKaye’s Dogtown Common at Windhover\, co-produced by the Gloucester 400+. The backdrop was created by Gabrielle Barzaghi. He adapted and co-staged James M. Barrie’s Peter Pan for the Fisher Center at Bard with director Christopher Alden and stage designer Marsha Ginsberg. He co-directed Handel’s Partenope with Mr. Alden at the English National Opera\, winning the Laurence Olivier Award. His work has appeared at the New York City Opera\, Glimmerglass Opera\, Spoleto Festival\, San Francisco Opera\, Theater Basil\, Prague National Theater\, and other companies in the United States and Europe. He began his career in New York’s downtown. He helped start The Pyramid Club where he staged many original shows. His trilogy of short films\, What She Learned from Plants\, made with Roy Rallo\, screened at the Gloucester Writers Center. He leads a playwrighting workshop there each summer. He studied with Maria Irene Fornes. \nImage Credit: Excerpt from The Resurrection of Judy Rhines\, 2025. Gabrielle Barzaghi\, ink on cardboard. Image courtesy of the artist.

SUMMARY:Rephrasing | Exhibit at Cove Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Janice Brand\nExhibit Dates: August 21 – September 14\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, August 21\, 4-7 pm\nClosing Reception: Sunday\, September 14\, 2-5pm\nGallery Hours: Sunday & Monday\, 12-5pm; Thursday – Saturday\, 12-7pm \nRephrasing\, an exhibition curated by Janice Brand\, encompasses the mixed-media work of Shira Karman\, Tobi Klein\, Helen Tory\, and Patricia Wellenkamp\, who utilize the concepts of adaptation and revision. This show\, the fifth for the 2025 season at Cove Gallery\, takes into consideration memory\, family\, story-telling\, and definitely redefinition\, or rephrasing. \nShira Karman focuses on fragments that relate to some other time or place\, whether known or unknown. She is interested in how these fragments tell a story that she may know or hope to uncover. \nTobi Klein explores mono-printing\, collage\, and other mixed-media techniques\, taking inspiration from the continual shifting of light\, color\, and pattern of the granite quarries and the sea. She builds a story\, inviting viewers to peel back the layers and look below the surface. \nHelen Tory uses diverse media to express her connection with birds described in her father’s 1930s nature diaries. A variety of paint\, mark-making\, torn papers\, and string elicit each bird’s particular characteristics. \nPatricia Wellenkamp uses a series of carved linoleum blocks to print on cotton and other fabrics. She incorporates embroidery\, paper\, and other elements to add ornamentation and complexity to images that might come from an ancestor’s dress\, dahlias in her garden or imagined landscapes.

SUMMARY:Step Aboard History: FREE Deck Tours of the Schooner Adventure
DESCRIPTION:Climb aboard the Schooner Adventure and step back in time! Our guided deck tours offer a unique opportunity to explore one of Gloucester’s most treasured maritime landmarks. Originally launched in 1926 as a working fishing schooner\, Adventure has been lovingly restored and is now a floating museum dedicated to preserving the rich legacy of New England’s fishing heritage. \nOn your tour\, you’ll walk the very decks where dorymen once hauled in their catch\, learn about life at sea in the 1920s\, and hear the incredible story of how this National Historic Landmark was saved from decay. Knowledgeable and passionate docents—many of whom have sailed Adventure themselves—will bring her stories to life\, from the golden age of sail to her current role as an ambassador for maritime history and education. \nWhether you’re a maritime buff\, a curious traveler\, or a family looking for a fun and educational outing\, a deck tour of the Schooner Adventure is a hands-on experience you won’t forget. Come feel the salt air\, ring the ship’s bell\, take a picture at the helm\, and discover how this proud vessel continues to inspire new generations. \nTours start at the end of the Harriet Webster Pier.

SUMMARY:2025 Bread & Roses Festival
DESCRIPTION:Our 41st annual Bread & Roses Heritage Festival will take place\, as always\, on Labor Day at the Campagnone Common in Lawrence\, MA – so mark your calendar for September 1\, rain or shine! This year’s theme is “Rooted in Community: From Seed to Strength.” At a time when so many of us and our loved ones are feeling fear\, uncertainty and danger\, we wanted to emphasize the importance of community. We support one another\, we keep each other grounded\, we provide safety and solidarity with one another\, especially in times of crisis. The spirit of the Bread and Roses strike is to stand collectively and fight back against attacks on workers\, immigrants\, and people of all races\, genders and abilities – and that is what we do every year at the Festival. By joining together for celebration\, music\, dance\, art\, and history\, we remind one another of what’s most important and most valuable about our communities. Visit our website (https://www.breadandrosesheritage.org/) for more information about this year’s performers\, our logo designer\, and our family events. We’ve got some really exciting things planned for this year – you won’t want to miss it!

SUMMARY:Rephrasing | Exhibit at Cove Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Janice Brand\nExhibit Dates: August 21 – September 14\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, August 21\, 4-7 pm\nClosing Reception: Sunday\, September 14\, 2-5pm\nGallery Hours: Sunday & Monday\, 12-5pm; Thursday – Saturday\, 12-7pm \nRephrasing\, an exhibition curated by Janice Brand\, encompasses the mixed-media work of Shira Karman\, Tobi Klein\, Helen Tory\, and Patricia Wellenkamp\, who utilize the concepts of adaptation and revision. This show\, the fifth for the 2025 season at Cove Gallery\, takes into consideration memory\, family\, story-telling\, and definitely redefinition\, or rephrasing. \nShira Karman focuses on fragments that relate to some other time or place\, whether known or unknown. She is interested in how these fragments tell a story that she may know or hope to uncover. \nTobi Klein explores mono-printing\, collage\, and other mixed-media techniques\, taking inspiration from the continual shifting of light\, color\, and pattern of the granite quarries and the sea. She builds a story\, inviting viewers to peel back the layers and look below the surface. \nHelen Tory uses diverse media to express her connection with birds described in her father’s 1930s nature diaries. A variety of paint\, mark-making\, torn papers\, and string elicit each bird’s particular characteristics. \nPatricia Wellenkamp uses a series of carved linoleum blocks to print on cotton and other fabrics. She incorporates embroidery\, paper\, and other elements to add ornamentation and complexity to images that might come from an ancestor’s dress\, dahlias in her garden or imagined landscapes.

SUMMARY:Maximus to Jack: Charles Olson & John Hays Hammond Jr.
DESCRIPTION:September 3\nProgram:\n5:30 – 6:00 pm: Light Refreshments & Networking\n6:00 – 7:00 pm: Presentation\n7:00- 7:15 pm: Conclusion & Q&A.\nhttps://bit.ly/MaximustoJack \nOn the night of September 3rd\, 1960\, John Hays Hammond Jr. hosted a reading by the poetCharles Olson at Hammond Castle Museum… \nThis poster was originally done for that event\, by the inventor’s late-life partner Harry Martin\, who introduced Hammond—once called the “Electronic Sorcerer”—to Olson: the self-styled “Archeologist of Morning.” The two men’s friendship would be short-lived and tempestuous. \n65 years later\, join Hammond Castle Museum in marking the anniversary of Olson’s reading and for the first time exploring the dramatic relationship between our founder and the luminary Maximus poet—two colossal figures who helped shape the community of Gloucester as we\nknow it today. \nThrough never-before-seen archival correspondence and a close reading of often overlooked Olson poems that address Hammond and the avant-garde 1960s literary and artistic circle surrounding the Museum directly\, Director of Visitor Services and Education Caleb McMurphy\nwill revive a near-forgotten chapter of local history and shed new light on two of the city’s most\ninteresting citizens.

But visitors to the Cape Ann Museum have often asked\, “What exactly is a Schooner?” This presentation will provide an easy-to-remember definition of a schooner and will show its evolution from a small inshore fishing boat to an extreme racing type. Ship models from the Museum’s collection and photos will illustrate the presentation. \nYou are invited to join us every Thursday for a unique experience. Led by a CAM docent\, these deep dives into a single artwork or object from the Collection will begin with conversation\, a short presentation and complimentary coffee at the Carlson Education Center\, followed by a special trip to the James Center to view the object being discussed. No special knowledge needed! Just a curiosity to learn more in a small group setting and enjoy a unique experience. \nImage Credit: Willard E. Andrews\, model of the Henry W. Longfellow\, 2013.
