Emerging Perspectives is a juried exhibition illuminating the vital and evolving voices of the region’s next generation of artists. This showcase serves as a bridge between the storied traditions of America’s oldest continuously operating art colony and the imaginative inquiries of creators aged 18 to 30. Selected by the RNAC Exhibitions Committee, the exhibition presents a focused collection of work that captures a moment of professional becoming. Spanning a wide range of media, the collection reflects a deep commitment to personal exploration and the pursuit of a distinct visual language. By facilitating a dialogue between these rising artists and the established creative lineage of Gloucester, the Rocky Neck Art Colony continues its 150-year legacy of fostering the future of the arts. Emerging Perspectives is an invitation to witness the initial professional steps of those who will shape our cultural landscape. It offers a rare glimpse into the burgeoning careers of artists as they transition their practice into the public sphere. We invite the community to observe this growth and support the creative spirit that defines our region. The public is invited to celebrate these new perspectives at the Opening Reception on Sunday, April 12, 2026, from 4-6:00pm. Join Rocky Neck Art Colony and the artists to experience the collection, meet the artists, and enjoy an afternoon of refreshments and lively conversation. Gallery Hours: Friday – Sunday, 12-5pm Artwork by: (clockwise) Ben Laird, Blocks; Ethan LeJeune, Standing Stones; Rory Kenney, Be There; Tia Camire, Prey

Curated by Robin Colodzin The solo exhibition brings together three bodies of work: oil paintings that begin with close observation of the natural world and then depart from the immediate scene, allowing an invented reality to emerge; cave wall paintings that draw on the texture and sensibility of prehistoric cave art, reaching across time toward the earliest forms of human mark-making; and text paintings built from a journaling practice noting ordinary moments of sensory experience, letting the words themselves to become visual marks.

Financial Planning - from starting a business to succession planning Running a business means making constant financial decisions—but are they all working together toward your long-term goals? Join us for an engaging and practical seminar designed specifically for small business owners looking to take a more strategic approach to their finances. In this session, we’ll explore how comprehensive planning, wealth management, tax-efficient strategies, and risk management can come together to strengthen your business and personal financial future. You’ll gain insight into how to better protect what you’ve built, uncover opportunities to improve efficiency, and make more informed decisions with confidence.

Presented by Jacqueline Broberg I help high-earning families and professionals to build financial freedom, protect their futures, and provide education on generational wealth - without sacrificing the life they want to enjoy today. My path to financial advising began after years in higher education leadership. I’ll never forget when a mentor said to me, “It’s okay to prioritize your financial future.” Trusting our gut and following that advice, my husband and I decided to pivot my career into holistic financial planning and become first-generation business owners, and first-generation wealth builders That single sentence shifted the entire trajectory of our lives. Choosing this career wasn’t just a job change: it was the turning point that allowed us to rebuild, reset, and rewrite our family’s financial story. Now, I help my clients do the same.

Weather-dependent; classes may be canceled, and reservations will be refunded if necessary. About Sue Wheeler: Sue has a lifetime of making art through various mediums from delectable pastries to abstracts in pastels, watercolor, and acrylics. She enjoys using her creative flair in quilting and interior design as well. Sue graduated from the University of Denver with a Bachelor’s in business with a focus on hospitality management and earned an associate’s degree from the Culinary Institute of America. Following her tenure as a pastry chef in New Hampshire, Sue returned to school for a certificate in graphic design and put her talents to use as a designer in the book publishing and art publishing industries in Vermont. In early 2019, Sue opened her own gallery and studio, Arts Abound in Magnolia Village, MA, as an artistic haven for local artists. Through the gallery, over 30 artists featured their creative works, ranging from paintings, hand-painted silk scarves, silver jewelry, and more. Sue also ran many workshops and classes featuring many of the artists. Often, Sue would work late into the night, painting in her Arts Abound studio. After closing the gallery in 2022, Sue continued to offer the often sold-out painting classes, taught by some of the Arts Abound artists. Sue has studied under numerous artists to learn watercolor, acrylic painting, cold wax & oil, and collage. Her goals for the Hammond Castle Museum sketch classes are to engage those who are new to the world of art and reinvigorate those who haven’t picked up a blank canvas or sketch pad in a long time. Sue’s philosophy on the creative process encourages you to be less concerned about the final product and instead to enjoy the journey of creativity and get lost in the moment. Once you find yourself in your work, you may just be surprised!
