The 32nd Annual Cape Ann Artisans Studio Tour
The 2015 tour welcomes back three members from sabbatical and adds one new member.
“We loved the four studios we visited and just happened on this driving up to Halibut Point and seeing all the pink signs. We were surprised how good the work was and each bought a piece of jewelry. We also loved the settings each studio was in and at times were just elated by what a beautiful area it was when you got off the beaten path.”
…a 2014 visitor on the tour
The Cape Ann Artisans are huddled in their studios getting ready to welcome visitors again in 2015! What is your favorite texture? What textures do you create or try to achieve? What textures do you uniquely experience living on Cape Ann? These are the questions asked of the 2015 Cape Ann Artisans to kick off the 2015 creative season in preparation for the 32nd annual Cape Ann Artisans open Studio Tour, the oldest open studio event in the country.
The Spring Tour is Saturday and Sunday, June 20 & 21. The Fall Tour is Columbus Day weekend, October 10-12. Both tours are held 10:00 am to 5:00 pm each day. This self-guided journey along the scenic coastline of Gloucester and Rockport presents a unique opportunity to meet 26 professional artists, see their work in the setting in which it was created, and enjoy demonstrations in various media. The work represented includes: pottery, painting, sculpture, photography, mosaics, weaving, and jewelry. In 2015, David Archibald, Marty Morgan, and Mi Robertson return to the tour. Marcie Rae, a jeweler working in enamel, joins the tour for the first time. The full list of artisans is below.
Between now and June, visit the CAA website to hear more from each artist on their inspirations in the “From the Studio” blog. To keep up to date with other details of the tour, please send an email to info@capeannartisans.com and we will add you to the mailing list.
