Description

CAM Kids Downtown Campus, 27 Pleasant Street, Gloucester, MA This program is free and open to the public. Every Second Saturday, the Cape Ann Museum is free for all Cape Ann Residents. Visitors of all ages are invited to head down to the CAM Studio during their visit for a new art project each month. This January let’s spread some kindness and good wishes for the New Year! Join us in the CAM Studio to paint rocks with messages of joy and hope for our Cape Ann neighbors. Your Kindness Rocks will be scattered throughout Downtown Cape Ann for residents to find during Gloucester’s So Salty on January 22 and 23. 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.
