June 19, 2014 — As a prelude to the city’s annual St. Peter’s Fiesta paying homage to the patron saint of fishermen, Local Colors Artists’ Cooperative hosts a show each year to celebrate both the fishing community and beauty of Cape Ann.
Now in its 25th year, the art gallery is once again hosting this special exhibit, titled “Fish Tales,” as its annual tribute by the artists, with a free public reception at Local Colors in Gloucester on Saturday, June 21, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. with refreshments.
Each of the 18 artists is called upon to interpret the theme according to their artistic calling. For special events like this, the artists are encouraged to create works outside their usual media to allow for growth and expansion of their creative talents.
“This event is so meaningful to me on many levels” said Kathy Bucholska, a mixed media artist and jewelry designer at Local Colors. “Not only is it a celebration of the fishing industry and way of life, but the fish symbol brings special meaning to me. In my work, I use the fish to represent abundance and spiritual nourishment.”
