Goetemann Artist Residency Blog

What a difference a couple of months make. Who could foresee that everything would end up so tipsy-turkey.

Because of Covid-19 concerns, we have made the very difficult decision to cancel the May, June and July Goetemann Artist Residencies for 2020. We’re still waiting with crossed fingers for what August may bring and if we can host our Distinguished Artist Teacher, as well as our September Environmental Artist and October Resident. If we could predict the future, there’d be lots of people eager to talk to us.

As the year progresses, we’ll post updates here.

Until then, stay in touch with all Rocky Neck Art Colony has to offer.

Congratulations to the artists who will be the 2020 residents of the Goetemann Artist Residency.

You can find details about each on the Rocky Neck Art Colony Residency home page .

Also announced is this year’s Distinguished Artist/Teacher: Deborah Dancy. She’ll be teaching a four-day workshop in August—stay tuned for details on dates and sign up.

Artists this year represent a broad range, from painters to a sculptor, a photographer and a muralist. If you live nearby, please plan on attending one (or all) of the artist Opening talks, which are taking place this year at the enhanced-AV facilities of 1623 Studios (11 Pleasant Street) in downtown Gloucester.

Closing talks take place at the Goetemann Studio. The Environmental/Installation Artist closing talk takes place onsite at Ocean Alliance — always a beautiful evening on the water (even when it poured rain last year!).

A special thank you to all who applied. It was a tough choice. And thank you to the seemingly tireless Residency all-volunteer committee!

The applications have all come in. We’ve been busy evaluating and judging submissions. Wonderful work from many people! So inspiring.

We’re finalizing dates for Opening and Closing talks now, and will post the schedule soon. When we finish notifying all applicants, we’ll announce the winners on the website.

Stay tuned! It’s going to be a very interesting 2020 season for the Goetemann Artist Residency.
