Description

Join the Cape Ann Museum’s Teen Art Council at CAM Green to celebrate teen artists from the North Shore. Open to ages 13-19, the Teen Arts Night includes live music, field games, and art activities. This new event series was created by the Teens Arts Council to connect young artists from local communities and engage teens with the Cape Ann Museum. The first Teen Night kicks off on August 20 with performances by local teen bands ADH3 and Wotelle. Teen art will be for sale and on display. Draw a self-portrait to add to the Community Portrait Project and check out the Teen Arts Council mural in the Learning to Swim exhibit. All attendees will receive a free gift bag with art supplies. Bring your own blankets and food to picnic on the green. Light snacks and refreshments will be sold. Entry is free but registration is required. Carpooling is suggested because there is limited parking on site. Pre-register at: Looking for Creative Teens! If you are a young artist from the North Shore and are interested in having your art highlighted on the @CAM_teens Instagram page, send a DM on Instagram or email us at [email protected]. The Cape Ann Museum tells multiple stories, all relating to a single remarkable place. From its earliest days as a fishing and shipping port to its mid-19th century role in the granite industry, to its singular charms of light and sea that have attracted countless artists from the 19th century to the present, Cape Ann boasts a rich and varied culture of nationally significant historical, industrial, and artistic achievement. The Museum's fine art collection includes the largest grouping of works by native son and renowned marine artist, Fitz Henry Lane, as well as work by other prominent painters and sculptors who lived on, visited or were inspired by Cape Ann. The work of contemporary Cape Ann artists is also collected and exhibited. The permanent collection includes fine and decorative arts, and artifacts from the major industries of the area - the fisheries and granite quarrying.
