Presenting Award Winners Exhibition II "Art of the Sea and Science" and New Members Show

Jeff Weaver, "Beacon Marine from Gravel Beach"

The North Shore Arts Association congratulates the award winning artists of Exhibition II, "Art of the Sea and Science", and The New Artist Members Show. Both exhibitions are on display at our harborside galleries from June 17 through July 30th and are free and open to the public.

A very unique component of the "Art Exhibition of the Sea and Science" will be a show and silent auction of works by NSAA artists painted on original roofing slates removed from the historic Paint Factory building. These historic slates were donated to NSAA by non-profit Ocean Alliance and they provide the substrate used by Artist Members to create original works, each approximately 12" x 24" depicting a wide range of images inspired by Gloucester, the sea, and its inhabitants. Bids for the silent auction may be place June 17 through July 30 by visiting or contacting NSAA. One hundred per cent of the silent auction proceeds will go to fund the ongoing restoration the NSAA's gallery building and Ocean Alliance's Paint Factory headquarters. Click here: http://nsarts.org/2016_Slate_Auction.html to see all of the slates available for bid from now until July 30th at 5pm. Visit or call the gallery to place your bid! 978-283-1857.

Please join us Sunday, June 26th at 12:30-1:30 for Ocean Alliance CEO Dr. Ian Kerr's lecture, "Why Whales?" A reception for Dr. Kerr and all Exhibitions follows, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the gallery. A $5.00 donation is encouraged.
