Each session features a work of art or object that is new to view—whether a recent acquisition or a wor k newly installed in the galleries.  \nThe program begins in the Educatio n Room at our Downtown Campus with a brief introduction and visual context before moving into the galleries for an extended exploration of the featu red work. Guided by observation\, curiosity\, and conversation\, participa nts are encouraged to share ideas\, consider different perspectives\, and discover new connections together.  \nThis week for Artful Conversations   \nIn 2025\, CAM acquired two 2023 photographs by Matika Wilbur as par t of the Museum’s Native Initiatives\, a project that culminated in a la ndmark exhibition of Wilbur’s work at the CAM Green. Wilbur’s work res hapes how Indigenous Peoples are represented across the United States\, ce ntering contemporary Native identity and celebrating the vibrancy of Indig enous culture today.  \nPlease join CAM docent Maggie Rosa for an engagin g conversation as she reflects on what these photographs reveal—about th e photographer\, about the individuals portrayed\, and about the evolving stories they invite us to understand more deeply.  \nBorn and raised in E ngland\, Maggie Rosa moved to the Chicago in 1968 to work as a resear ch technician at the University of Chicago. During her eight years in Chic ago\, she married Joe and obtained her PhD. The two of them did post-docto ral research at Yale and then moved to Cambridge to join the nascent biote ch world. They eventually built a weekend home in Gloucester. In 2001 they “saw the light” and moved here permanently to participate in this g reat community. Maggie is an active volunteer in local organizations\, mos t recently the City Hall Restoration Commission\, Gloucester Education Fou ndation\, Cape Ann Museum\, and Generous Gardeners. As a Cape Ann Museum d ocent\, she serves as an ambassador for Gloucester by introducing visitors \, especially cruise ship visitors\, to Cape Ann’s history and culture. CAM’s Fresnel lighthouse lens is her favorite piece in the Museum becaus e it exemplifies how science\, technology and art were combined to address an urgent need in maritime safety. \n\n Image Credits: Matika Wilbur\, Sierra ‘Autumn’ Henries with her Father\, Hawk Henries\, 2024.

S. Eliot. From his early masterpiece\, “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock\,” to Four Qu artets\, Eliot’s poetry returns time and again to the Gloucester seascap es he encountered near his family’s summer home. Put in conversation\, p oet and painters reveal Gloucester was more than a shared backdrop—it be came a generative landscape where questions of universality\, identity\, a nd modernism were forged across mediums. \nDr. John D. Morgenstern (DPhil\ , Oxford) is a scholar of twentieth-century literature and the arts who ha s taught in England\, Germany\, and the United States. He is the coeditor of The Edinburgh Companion to T. S. Eliot and the Arts (2016)\, coeditor o f Modernism in Wonderland: Legacies of Lewis Carroll (2024)\, and the foun ding editor of The T. S. Eliot Studies Annual. He now serves as an associa te librarian at Emory University. \nImage Credit: Milton Avery\, Glouceste r Dawn\, c. 1921. Oil on artist board\, 20 x 24 in.

Each session features a work of art or object that is new to view—whether a recent acquisition or a wor k newly installed in the galleries.  \nThe program begins in the Educatio n Room at our Downtown Campus with a brief introduction and visual context before moving into the galleries for an extended exploration of the featu red work. Guided by observation\, curiosity\, and conversation\, participa nts are encouraged to share ideas\, consider different perspectives\, and discover new connections together.  \nThis week for Artful Conversations   \nIn 2025\, CAM acquired two 2023 photographs by Matika Wilbur as par t of the Museum’s Native Initiatives\, a project that culminated in a la ndmark exhibition of Wilbur’s work at the CAM Green. Wilbur’s work res hapes how Indigenous Peoples are represented across the United States\, ce ntering contemporary Native identity and celebrating the vibrancy of Indig enous culture today.  \nPlease join CAM docent Maggie Rosa for an engagin g conversation as she reflects on what these photographs reveal—about th e photographer\, about the individuals portrayed\, and about the evolving stories they invite us to understand more deeply.  \nBorn and raised in E ngland\, Maggie Rosa moved to the Chicago in 1968 to work as a resear ch technician at the University of Chicago. During her eight years in Chic ago\, she married Joe and obtained her PhD. The two of them did post-docto ral research at Yale and then moved to Cambridge to join the nascent biote ch world. They eventually built a weekend home in Gloucester. In 2001 they “saw the light” and moved here permanently to participate in this g reat community. Maggie is an active volunteer in local organizations\, mos t recently the City Hall Restoration Commission\, Gloucester Education Fou ndation\, Cape Ann Museum\, and Generous Gardeners. As a Cape Ann Museum d ocent\, she serves as an ambassador for Gloucester by introducing visitors \, especially cruise ship visitors\, to Cape Ann’s history and culture. CAM’s Fresnel lighthouse lens is her favorite piece in the Museum becaus e it exemplifies how science\, technology and art were combined to address an urgent need in maritime safety. \n\n Image Credits: Matika Wilbur\, Sierra ‘Autumn’ Henries with her Father\, Hawk Henries\, 2024.

This class blends design fundamentals\, creative play\, and the rich history of Cape Ann’s iconic design collective. Referencing her unpublished book\, Desi gn and How\, you’ll explore the principles of design that Virginia Lee D emetrios taught her students—selecting a theme and exploring it deeply t hrough clarity of line\, rhythm\, repetition\, and pattern—and you will discover how her timeless ideas can elevate your own artistic voice. Each week builds your confidence as you sketch\, carve\, and print your way tow ards an original finished artwork.   \nPlease note: This class has four sessions.  \nMary Rhinelander is a professional artist with an MFA in pr intmaking. Gloucester is in her DNA\, starting with great-grandparents who spent summers on Eastern Point. She lives in East Gloucester\, in a yello w clapboard house once known as “The Summer Art House” where painter T heresa Bernstein and her painter/printmaker husband\, William Meyerowitz\, spent many decades (starting in 1924). Having purchased her home directly from their estate\, William’s etching press is still happily living in the sun-filled basement studio. Mary has had many solo and group shows and her work is in both public and private collections. She has painted mural s\, designed logos and book covers\, illustrated for a variety of publicat ions\, and taught students of all ages. In 2004 she founded Mermade Press\ , a fine art card business. With a deep affinity for the Folly Cove Design ers and Virginia Lee Demetrios in particular\, it has been Mary’s great pleasure to bring block printing workshops into Cape Ann’s public school s with the support of CAM and the Gloucester Education Foundation.  \nIma ge Credit: Mary Rhinelander.

Shure will reflect on his past work with Weems\, the artistic dia logue that emerged between their two cats\, and the meticulous sculptural process behind creating this magnificent piece for CAM’s campus. It is a chance to hear directly from the artist about the history\, craft\, and c haracter embodied in this contemplative feline form. \nUpon graduating fro m college\, owner Robert Shure became an assistant at the traditional scul pture studio of Arcangelo Cascieri and Adio di Biccari. From the early 197 0s through the 1980s\, Shure helped produce many of the public monuments\, sculptures\, memorials\, and restorations completed at the Cascieri-di Bi ccari studio. He became involved in all the specialties of the sculpture s tudio\, including designing monuments and portraits\, creating armatures\, mold-making\, casting in plaster\, creating and replicating architectural ornament\, and conserving and restoring plaster\, stone\, and bronze. As Cascieri and di Biccari gradually retired\, Shure continued the tradition of the sculpture studio. In 1990\, Shure moved the Cascieri-di Biccari stu dio to Woburn\, Massachusetts and renamed it Skylight Studios. It is one o f the largest and most active studios of its type in the country. Robert i s currently creating many significant public and private monuments and scu lptures. He has accumulated over 40 years of hands-on experience in the fi eld of sculpture. His expertise ranges from the design and creation of mon umental sculpture in bronze and granite to the conservation and restoratio n of historical sculpture and architectural ornament. Robert works with a worldwide clientele of communities\, institutions\, committees\, architect s\, and museums. \n Image Credits: CAM Staff photo.

Dogtown is all of thes e 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 i t 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 whe re they lived and hear their stories. You will learn how Dogtown got its n ame\, 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 ins pired here\, and reservoirs that were built here. Finally\, you will see s ome of the inspirational word-boulders along the trails that are the lasti ng legacy of entrepreneur and philanthropist Roger Babson (1875-1967)\, an d a symbol of the enduring nature of this special place called Dogtown.  \nThe Historic Dogtown walking tour is almost three miles and will take ap proximately two hours. The route is over hiking trails that are generally easy\, but uneven\, with rocks and roots underfoot. The terrain is up and down throughout\, over gentle hills. Hiking attire and closed footwear adv ised\; walking poles are useful. Bring water and insect repellent\, as the y are not supplied. Please note that this tour is not suitable if you have mobility concerns. \nImage Credit: Marsden Hartley (1877-1943). Summer Ou tward Bound\, Gloucester\, 1931\, oil on board.
