SUMMARY:Avery\, Gottlieb & Rothko: By the Sea
DESCRIPTION:“Avery\, Gottlieb & Rothko: By the Sea” explores the artistic bond between three pivotal 20th century American artists—Milton Avery (1885–1965)\, Adolph Gottlieb (1903–1974)\, and Mark Rothko (1903-1970)—whose shared summers in Gloucester\, Massachusetts\, from the 1920s to the mid-1940s had a lasting impact on their work. The exhibit is being presented through a collaboration between the Cape Ann Museum and The Phillips Collection (Washington\, D.C.). On view at the Cape Ann Museum from June 30 through September 27\, 2026\, the exhibition will then be displayed at The Phillips Collection from October 24\, 2026\, through January 24\, 2027. \nAs the first Cape Ann Museum generated show to then be taken on by another institution\, the Museum is working in close collaboration with all three artists’ estates. The show will feature over 82 works from the 1920s to the 1960s\, with loans from 26 prominent national and private institutional collections\, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington\, D.C.\, which is a central partner lending 10 works by Mark Rothko to the exhibition. Many works in this exhibition have never been on public view. \nThis unprecedented exhibit\, accompanied by a 224-page catalog produced by Rizzoli Electa\, will reveal the deep connections between these artists\, emphasizing their roles as both mentors and peers\, while showcasing the unique working methods and lifelong friendships that shaped their groundbreaking art. The catalog\, in addition to including essays by Eliza Rathbone\, will also feature contributions by prominent art scholars and curators. \nOrganized for the Cape Ann Museum by guest curator\, Eliza Rathbone\, Chief Curator Emerita of The Phillips Collection in collaboration with The Phillips Collection\, Washington\, D.C.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Mia Millefoglie\, Daughters of Stone and Tide
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an author talk with Maria (Mia) Millefoglie on her new book Daughters of Stone and Tide. \nA powerful family memoir about inheritance\, identity\, and the pull of the sea \nDaughters of Stone and Tide traces one Sicilian American family’s journey across generations\, oceans\, and inherited silence. Adopted as an infant by Sicilian immigrants\, Maria “Mia” grows up in Gloucester’s working-class fishing community\, where bloodlines define identity\, tradition shapes destiny\, and belonging must be earned. Defying expectations\, she leaves\, only to return decades later to uncover the stories of the family she inherited. Her search reaches back to nineteenth-century Sicily\, where her great-grandfather was abandoned on the “wheel of the castoffs.” From castoff to stowaway\, he carried the Millefoglie name across the Atlantic\, launching three generations into lives ruled by perilous seas\, sunken vessels\, and hard-won livelihoods. The women held fast on shore. Both intimate and historical\, Daughters of Stone and Tide is a meditation on identity\, abandonment\, and belonging: a fisherman’s daughter’s search to understand the forces that bind and break a family across generations and seas. \nMia will be joined in conversation by Melanie Brooks\, author of the books A Hard Silence: One daughter remaps family\, grief\, and faith when HIV/AIDS changes it all and Writing Hard Stories: Celebrated Memoirists Who Shaped Art from Trauma. To learn more\, visit: melaniebrooks.com. \nMARIA (MIA) MILLEFOGLIE is a creative writer who has focused on immigration and assimilation\, religious and cultural traditions\, women’s roles in the workplace\, healthcare\, and the New England fishing industry. Her work has appeared in The Stonecoast Review and Entropy\, and she is a contributing author of Our People\, Our Stories: The Gloucester 400+ Commemorative Book.
