SUMMARY:Local Colors Artist Cooperative to Celebrate 37 Years on Main Street
DESCRIPTION:Local Colors Artist Cooperative to Celebrate 37 Years on Main Street\nOn Friday\, November 6\, 2026\, from 6 to 8 p.m.\, Local Colors Artists’ Cooperative invites the\npublic to join in celebrating its 37th anniversary. Since 1989\, Local Colors has operated as an\nongoing center for creativity and commerce in downtown Gloucester.\nWhat does it take for a relatively small business to endure for nearly 4 decades? For Local\nColors’ member artists\, it means taking on the collective responsibility of maintaining a gallery\nand staying active on the Cape Ann art scene while upholding a commitment to their respective\nart forms.\nFor thirty-seven years!\nLocal Colors may defy the categorization of gallery or gift shop. For all of its years\, it has\nsupported artists’ growth in their art and in their business skills. One member\, well-known\nstained-glass artist Donna Amero\, is a founding member. At a recent meeting of the group\, she\,\nstated\, “We are not specifically a gallery or a gift shop. We’re an artists’ cooperative.” Kathy\nBucholska\, jeweler and mixed media artist added\, “As a 36-year member\, I am grateful to have\nhad the opportunity to develop my artistic skills here. It has been wonderful to have an outlet\nfor my jewelry and to expand into mixed media pieces using stones\, fossils\, and found objects.”\nNewer artist\, weaver Susan Alvey appreciates the creative blending involved in an artist\ncooperative. “As artists\, we usually work alone\, but a cooperative provides a supportive\ncommunity that is greater than we could create on our own.” The current membership of Local\nColors spans a wide range of media\, techniques\, subjects\, styles\, and attitudes\, and each artist\nbrings their own way of seeing to his/her chosen medium. The cooperative expands our\nappreciation of other art forms.\nCurrent artist members include: photographers Melissa Cox\, David Katz\, Skip Montello\, and Jim\nSousa; Jewelers Katherine Bagley\, Kathy Bucholska\, Annette Donnelly; painters Carey Jane\nConnor\, Pat Doherty\, Perry McIntosh; glass artists Donna Amero and Mary Woodall-Jappe; fiber\nartist Susan Alvey; ceramicists Peter Black\, Bessie Blum (who also works in mosaic and collage\nand fiber)\, Bob Kulchuk; and creative sculptors Liz Lovell and George Marinakis.\nAs they mark this anniversary\, Local Colors’ artists want to express their gratitude: to their\nguests\, customers\, and visitors\, and especially to the other artist members\, past and present\,\nfor their continued support and inspiration.\nIn addition to the November 6 celebration\, Local Colors will be participating in the City’s \n“From the Deep” event on Saturday\, November 7 with a variety of art demonstrations:\n11 am- 12:30 pm George Marinakis will show the construction of his driftwood sunbursts\n12:30 to 2:00 pm  Many-media artist Bessie Blum will be demonstrating some simple mosaic\ntechniques with materials available for visitors' own make-and-take small mosaics while\n(limited) supplies last.\n2:00 to 3:30 pm  Ingrid Jochimsen will show the construction of her layered wooden boxes.\n3:30 to 5:00 PM Susan Alvey will demonstrate winding a warp for weaving.\nAnd in the meantime\, Local Colors\, 121 Main St\, will be open daily from 10 am to 6 pm\, moving into its 38th year.
