Cape Ann Art Haven would like to sincerely thank everyone who contributed to making Art Haven’s 2nd Annual Art Show and Buoy Auction a great success! From the Crew that helped build the Lobster Trap Tree to the local restaurants that donated food for our guests, we can’t say enough about the generosity of each individual and business that has helped Art Haven prosper. Thank you to all the artists who painted buoys for the auction and to all the parents and community members who came to see the art of our talented youth and help support Art Haven. We would like to say a big thank you to Cruiseport Gloucester for providing the venue free of charge and also acknowledge the following in-kind supporters who made it all happen: Ben’s Paint, Winchester Fishing, Roses Marine, Building Center, Seaside Graphics, Seaside Glass, Hiltz Disposal, Cape Pond Ice, Dunkin Donuts, Stop & Shop, Shaw’s, Pleasant St. Tea Co, Jalapenos, Seaport Grill, Causeway Restaurant, Alexandra’s Bread, Latitude 43, Virgilio’s, Chili Choice, Sebastian’s, LaRosa’s Pizzeria, Supreme Roast Beef, Jim’s Bagel & Bake Shoppe, Thai Choice and Classic Cooks Catering. The contributions of these area businesses will allow Art Haven to continue it’s hard work in providing artistic opportunity for this community. Best wishes to all for 2010!

Our Gallery at Art Haven

For a place that has such a rich history with the arts, there is a lack of support for new mediums. Our gallery sprouted from the fact that we have so many friends doing interesting work, without a clear venue to show it. Art Haven, a non profit providing open art space and classes, contacted us about the potential of putting the Hive Gallery in their space. It was an opportunity we could not pass up. We’re still in transition to our new space, and will be having our grand opening this spring. In the meantime though, the gallery is open Mon-Friday 10-5pm, Sat & Sun by appointment or chance. Call 978 290 3786 (jon) for more information.

 10% of all Hive sales go directly to Art Haven’s programing!
