1919 Recreated: A Gallery Showing at the Sargent House
When: Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from July 13 – September 1, during museum hours (12 p.m. – 4 p.m.)
Where: The Sargent House Museum, 49 Middle Street, Gloucester, MA
Admission: Free for Museum members, $5 for non-members
Gloucester’s historic Sargent House celebrates its 100th anniversary as a museum with “1919 Recreated: A Gallery Showing,” an exhibit of works by many of the artists who participated in the original 1919 exhibit which launched the museum. As in 1919, the new exhibition brings together works by John Singer Sargent, Theresa Bernstein, Childe Hassam and others. More than 25 works will be shown, many on loan from Rockport Art Association & Museum, the exhibit’s major contributor.
The centerpiece of the exhibit will be a charcoal drawing by John Singer Sargent of his cousin Charles Sprague Sargent, the botanist who led Harvard University’s Arnold Arboretum for more than 50 years, and who founded the Sargent House Museum with Universalist minister Levi Powers and William Sumner Appleton, founder of SPNEA (the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities, now Historic New England). John Singer Sargent donated the drawing of his cousin to the Sargent House Museum for the 1919 exhibit.
All proceeds will purchase essential supplies for each Gloucester elementary school classroom!

Michele O’Neil Demonstration and Pop-Up Show! Pop-Up Show June 24-30 Demonstration June 30 (2pm)
Michele O’Neil Demonstration and Pop-Up Show! Pop-Up Show June 24-30 Demonstration June 30 (2pm) Open free to the public. Contemporary artist Michele O’Neil resides on the coast of Cape Ann. She has been working with watercolor and oil paints for well over a decade expressing a love for the landscape of her home, the details that populate it, and the ever awe-inspiring light that exalts it. This reverence of her surroundings brings her canvas and brushes “en plein air” allowing the energy of the experience to lead her creative process. If she travels, Michele’s easel travels with her so that any opportunities of inspiration are not wasted. Michele had studied and taken workshops with artists Paul George, Alvaro Castagnet, George Van Hook, and Colley Whisson. She has won numerous awards across Cape Ann and continues to be an active part in the classical art community.
