SUMMARY:Emerging Perspectives\, Works by Artists 18-30
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours: Friday – Sunday\, 12-5pm \n‘Emerging Perspectives’ is a juried exhibition illuminating the vital and evolving voices of the region’s next generation of artists. This showcase serves as a bridge between the storied traditions of America’s oldest continuously operating art colony and the imaginative inquiries of creators aged 18 to 30. \nSelected by the RNAC Exhibitions Committee\, the exhibition presents a focused collection of work that captures a moment of professional becoming. Spanning a wide range of media\, the collection reflects a deep commitment to personal exploration and the pursuit of a distinct visual language. By facilitating a dialogue between these rising artists and the established creative lineage of Gloucester\, the Rocky Neck Art Colony continues its 150-year legacy of fostering the future of the arts. \n‘Emerging Perspectives’ is an invitation to witness the initial professional steps of those who will shape our cultural landscape. It offers a rare glimpse into the burgeoning careers of artists as they transition their practice into the public sphere. We invite the community to observe this growth and support the creative spirit that defines our region. \nThe public is invited to celebrate these new perspectives at the Opening Reception on Sunday\, April 12\, 2026\, from 4-6:00pm. Join Rocky Neck Art Colony and the artists to experience the collection\, meet the artists\, and enjoy an afternoon of refreshments and lively conversation. \nArtwork by: (clockwise) Ben Laird\, Blocks; Ethan LeJeune\, Standing Stones; Rory Kenney\, Be There; Tia Camire\, Prey

SUMMARY:Messages and Meditations with Mike and Courtney in the Salt Cave
DESCRIPTION:Some nights offer more than insight—they offer a shift. In this intimate 2-hour gathering\, you’ll be guided through a unique experience designed to help you receive meaningful messages\, reflect on where you are\, and walk away feeling more grounded\, clear\, and connected. With only 10 spots available and several experienced readers\, every participant will receive a personal reading through mediumship or card readings. Whether you’re carrying something heavy\, standing at a crossroads\, or just feeling the pull for something deeper\, this evening is a chance to pause and listen. We’ll begin with a short grounding to set the tone\, then move into readings that often touch on what you didn’t realize needed to be heard. To close\, we’ll drop into a gentle guided meditation to help you process and integrate what came through—so you leave not just with insight\, but with peace. You don’t need to believe in anything in particular—just come with an open mind\, a little curiosity\, and a willingness to be present.
