SUMMARY:CoCo Haze at Gallery RAG
DESCRIPTION:COCO HAZE RESIDENCY\nIMPROVISATIONAL\, IMMERSIVE INSTALLATIONs\n\nJoin us for the beginning of the CoCo Haze Residency during the month of July.\n\nCoCo Haze is not a single person but a collective identity—an experiment in dissolving the boundaries of authorship. Initiated by Deborah Read and Tracy Haze\, CoCo expands to include other artists\, writers\, and participants as the work unfolds. CoCo is porous\, flexible\, and alive.\nOn opening night\, Tracy and Deb will begin the first iteration of CoCo for the month\, working live in the gallery—installing\, improvising\, and making art in real time. The audience is invited to witness the process as it happens.\n\nThis is not an unveiling but an activation.\n\nThe environment created that evening becomes the stage for the rest of the month—a living installation where artists\, poets\, writers\, and visitors are invited to enter\, respond\, and participate. Nothing is fixed in advance. The work grows through encounter.\nCoCo Haze is less a name than a field of relations—an ongoing practice of making and unmaking the self together.

SUMMARY:Wildness: Thoreau & the Making of an American Theology
DESCRIPTION:Author Lydia Willsky-Ciollo will read from her new book Wildness\, Henry David Thoreau and the Making of an American Theology at the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church on Thursday\, July 16th at 7pm. Discussion and book signing to follow. Books will be available for sale. \nIn and through his experience of nature\, Thoreau’s theology reflects a distinctly American set of tensions: progress and tradition\, wilderness and civilization\, the individual and the society\, and the Christian and the pluralist. While remaining critical of dogma\, he formed his theological vision in conversation with the Christianity of his own time and place. Lydia Willsky-Ciollo\, who has her own roots in Gloucester\, articulates how Thoreau was enmeshed in a decades-spanning project of crafting a theology of wildness. \nThis event is free and open to the public. The Bookstore will have books available for sale at the event.

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:A TALE OF TWO SAILORS: Captain Richard Wainwright\, Coal Passer Gil Veno and the USS Gloucester
DESCRIPTION:In July\, 1898 the USS GLOUCESTER was the most famous vessel in the world. Its commander\, Richard Wainwright\, who never said much\, acted to avenge the MAINE\, his old ship\, with innovation and daring. He turned a blind eye to limiting orders and led the American charge at sea with all guns blazing at the Battle of Santiago Bay\, destroying two larger ships and capturing the Admiral of the Caribbean fleet on July 3\, 1898. The City of Gloucester gave him a silver loving cup and a fish dinner at Long Beach. \nOn the other hand\, the only Gloucester man aboard the Gloucester\, Gil Veno\, ran away from newspaper reporters and said nothing. Why? Now hear this… \nA Talk by Wayne Soini\, author of the upcoming GLOUCESTER AND THE WAR OF 1898 (Arcadia Press).
