Art and Artists on Rocky Neck |
Rocky
Neck is the oldest working art colony in the country!
It has been luring artists to its picturesque shores
for more than 150 years. From Fitz Hugh Lane,
who painted here in the 1840's, through Emile Gruppe,
who made his home here and painted into the 1970's,
as well as Winslow Homer, Childe Hassam, Maurice
Prendergast, Cecilia Beaux, Jane Paterson and a
host of other professional and amateur artists..
Today, the area is still home to many working artists
and abounds with fascinating galleries. Paintings
in all media are available, as well as many other
specializations like batik, photography, jewelry,
and quilting. Visitors are always welcome. |

featuring fine food and fabulous views. Most
of the charming galleries and shops, are open seven
days a week from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.. Watch the boats
in Smith Cove. Everything from busy lobster
boats to luxury yachts and sleek sailboats comes
through the cove. Enjoy the quaint charm of
the colony, the breathtaking views, and the artistry
found throughout the colony. |
