SUMMARY:LET GO An Exhibition Featuring Benjamin Herbert\, Kathleen Gerdon Archer\, and Janice Colby
DESCRIPTION:LET GO\nAn Exhibition Featuring Benjamin Herbert\, Kathleen Gerdon Archer\, and Janice Colby \nCove Gallery\, 37 Rocky Neck Avenue\, Gloucester\nExhibition Dates: June 25-July 19\nOpening Reception: July 2 from 5-8PM\nwww.rockyneckartcolony.org \nGloucester\, MA LET GO is a group exhibition bringing together the work of painters Benjamin Herbert\, Kathleen Gerdon Archer\, and Janice Colby in an exploration of discovery\, transformation\, intuition\, and experimentation. Through both abstraction and representation\, the exhibition examines what it means to release certainty and move beyond familiar boundaries — emotionally\, materially\, and conceptually. \nThe exhibition invites viewers into spaces shaped by memory\, landscape\, identity\, atmosphere\, and process. Each artist approaches painting as a form of exploration\, embracing openness\, vulnerability\, and the unexpected as essential parts of creative practice. Together\, the works reflect a shared interest in the freedom that can emerge when control is loosened\, and intuition takes hold. \nBenjamin Herbert’s paintings explore color as a dynamic and immersive material\, examining its ability to shape atmosphere\, perception\, and surrounding space. Leaning into abstraction\, his works create immersive emotional landscapes that invite contemplation and encourage viewers to slow down within an increasingly fragmented\, image-saturated culture. \nKathleen Gerdon Archer’s work explores color\, gesture\, and emotional landscape through layered compositions that reflect her continued interest in the natural world and what is left behind. Incorporating hidden birds in movement and migration\, her paintings evoke memory\, transition\, and quiet connection\, balancing sensitivity\, motion\, and reflection through an intuitive process. \nJanice Colby’s paintings are infused with emotion\, warmth\, beauty\, happiness\, and playfulness — positive human emotions that she describes as “a balm for the soul.” Colby’s paintings invite viewers into moments of delight\, curiosity\, and emotional connection. \nTogether\, LET GO offers a contemplative experience that encourages viewers to embrace uncertainty\, imagination\, and new ways of seeing. \nThe Rocky Neck Art Colony (RNAC)\, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization\, nurtures excellence in the arts through exhibitions\, workshops\, residencies and vibrant cultural events for its members and the public. On picturesque Rocky Neck in Gloucester\, Massachusetts\, RNAC operates three exhibition spaces\, open to the public for free\, The Cultural Center at Rocky Neck (6 Wonson Street); The Salted Cod Arthouse (53 Rocky Neck Ave.)\, a partnership gallery and café; and Cove Gallery (37 Rocky Neck Ave.)\, open seasonally in the former gallery of local artists Gordon and Judith Goetemann.

She enjoys using her creative flair in quilting and interior design as well. \nSue graduated from the University of Denver with a Bachelor’s in business with a focus on hospitality management and earned an associate’s degree from the Culinary Institute of America. Following her tenure as a pastry chef in New Hampshire\, Sue returned to school for a certificate in graphic design and put her talents to use as a designer in the book publishing and art publishing industries in Vermont. In early 2019\, Sue opened her own gallery and studio\, Arts Abound in Magnolia Village\, MA\, as an artistic haven for local artists. Through the gallery\, over 30 artists featured their creative works\, ranging from paintings\, hand-painted silk scarves\, silver jewelry\, and more. Sue also ran many workshops and classes featuring many of the artists. Often\, Sue would work late into the night\, painting in her Arts Abound studio. After closing the gallery in 2022\, Sue continued to offer the often sold-out painting classes\, taught by some of the Arts Abound artists. \nSue has studied under numerous artists to learn watercolor\, acrylic painting\, cold wax & oil\, and collage. Her goals for the Hammond Castle Museum sketch classes are to engage those who are new to the world of art and reinvigorate those who haven’t picked up a blank canvas or sketch pad in a long time. Sue’s philosophy on the creative process encourages you to be less concerned about the final product and instead to enjoy the journey of creativity and get lost in the moment. Once you find yourself in your work\, you may just be surprised!

SUMMARY:LET GO An Exhibition Featuring Benjamin Herbert\, Kathleen Gerdon Archer\, and Janice Colby
DESCRIPTION:LET GO\nAn Exhibition Featuring Benjamin Herbert\, Kathleen Gerdon Archer\, and Janice Colby \nCove Gallery\, 37 Rocky Neck Avenue\, Gloucester\nExhibition Dates: June 25-July 19\nOpening Reception: July 2 from 5-8PM\nwww.rockyneckartcolony.org \nGloucester\, MA LET GO is a group exhibition bringing together the work of painters Benjamin Herbert\, Kathleen Gerdon Archer\, and Janice Colby in an exploration of discovery\, transformation\, intuition\, and experimentation. Through both abstraction and representation\, the exhibition examines what it means to release certainty and move beyond familiar boundaries — emotionally\, materially\, and conceptually. \nThe exhibition invites viewers into spaces shaped by memory\, landscape\, identity\, atmosphere\, and process. Each artist approaches painting as a form of exploration\, embracing openness\, vulnerability\, and the unexpected as essential parts of creative practice. Together\, the works reflect a shared interest in the freedom that can emerge when control is loosened\, and intuition takes hold. \nBenjamin Herbert’s paintings explore color as a dynamic and immersive material\, examining its ability to shape atmosphere\, perception\, and surrounding space. Leaning into abstraction\, his works create immersive emotional landscapes that invite contemplation and encourage viewers to slow down within an increasingly fragmented\, image-saturated culture. \nKathleen Gerdon Archer’s work explores color\, gesture\, and emotional landscape through layered compositions that reflect her continued interest in the natural world and what is left behind. Incorporating hidden birds in movement and migration\, her paintings evoke memory\, transition\, and quiet connection\, balancing sensitivity\, motion\, and reflection through an intuitive process. \nJanice Colby’s paintings are infused with emotion\, warmth\, beauty\, happiness\, and playfulness — positive human emotions that she describes as “a balm for the soul.” Colby’s paintings invite viewers into moments of delight\, curiosity\, and emotional connection. \nTogether\, LET GO offers a contemplative experience that encourages viewers to embrace uncertainty\, imagination\, and new ways of seeing. \nThe Rocky Neck Art Colony (RNAC)\, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization\, nurtures excellence in the arts through exhibitions\, workshops\, residencies and vibrant cultural events for its members and the public. On picturesque Rocky Neck in Gloucester\, Massachusetts\, RNAC operates three exhibition spaces\, open to the public for free\, The Cultural Center at Rocky Neck (6 Wonson Street); The Salted Cod Arthouse (53 Rocky Neck Ave.)\, a partnership gallery and café; and Cove Gallery (37 Rocky Neck Ave.)\, open seasonally in the former gallery of local artists Gordon and Judith Goetemann.

SUMMARY:Sinister Streets & Salem Stories
DESCRIPTION:Looking to combine your museum visit with a walking tour? Join us for a behind-the-scenes guided tour that pairs our most popular\, haunting walking tour with an inside look at objects from the PEM collection. \nSinister Streets & Salem Stories starts at the Ward House\, which stood within sight of the 1692 Salem Witch Trials hangings on Gallows Hill\, and within earshot of the cries of the accused from the Salem jail. Winding through more dark secrets from the city’s past\, it finishes by following the steps of a notorious murderer into the Gardner-Pingree House. The killing of Joseph White gripped Salem and the country in 1830 with its brawling brothers\, custom-built murder weapons\, conspiring family members and a body that was autopsied three times. Follow PEM’s expert guides into the room where it happened – then head into the museum to visit our exhibition Salem Stories and see the real club used by White’s killers. \nThis is an indoor/outdoor tour. Please dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes. We’ll see you rain or shine! \nThis tour involves walking around 0.5 miles\, standing on hard surfaces and the use of stairs. Historic structures are not ADA accessible. Strollers may be used on the tours\, but may not be brought into any of the historic structures.
