The third Tuesday of every month marks a special public program at the Cape Ann Museum in which seniors are invited to spend time in one gallery for extended reflection and small group conversation. This coming Tuesday, the 19th, a CAM guide will lead a discussion in the maritime galleries, stimulating personal curiosities and stories, while having fun, growing and learning together. The program will begin at 10:30am and last about one hour. It is free and open to the public.

Each month Juni Van Dyke, Director of the Art Program at the Rose Baker Senior Center selects one or two artists to honor with a show of their works. To start 2016, Virginia Dench and Genevieve McNamara are the honorees and their works are on display now.

Virginia Dench has always enjoyed observing the natural world around her and taking in its beauty. But after she took an art class at the Rose Baker Senior Center everything changed. She found that she could capture the beauty of nature in her drawings and paintings. She is still observing nature, but now she is able to share what she sees with others. In the exhibit at Rose Baker, you can see her love of nature and enjoy her view of the natural world.
Coming from a family of artists, Genevieve McNamara has always been interested in art. However, she did not pursue this interest until she was in her 60s and had time to take some art classes. She started working in acrylic and is now accomplished with watercolor and pencil as well. Examples of her work in all these mediums are featured in the Rose Baker exhibit and demonstrate her talent in portraiture of both people and pets.
This month’s show will run from now until the end of February. The works are displayed in the main lobby of the Rose Baker Senior Center and can be viewed weekdays from 9am to 4pm.
