Her most recent work ranges from explorations with large shell paintings to her still life paintings utilizing objects as symbols to create meaning. Her new challenge in both instances, is working toward incorporating a balance of representation and abstraction in each piece for the purpose of expanding her visual language.

Jenny grew up and studied painting in Ohio, and has lived on Cape Cod for eight years. Her recent works include mono-type, encaustic, mixed media, and a continual exploration of material all in an effort to capture movement through layering. Sociology is fundamental to her work.

Mellissa Morris
Mellissa was born and raised on Cape Cod. Although all of her images are derived from reality, her art is not representational; she captures the essence of what objects are and what they mean. Mellissa paints from a mystical, magical place within her heart. She explores brain processes, psychology, observational imagery and the depths of our soul. She uses basic geometry to break the picture plane. Instinctual colors fill her palette. Mellissa enjoys when her paintings still seem fresh, but resolved enough that the viewer can engage. Her belief is art is a psychological phenomenon – it evokes our emotions and our thoughts. “Through art we can communicate without words; heal the sick, teach our children, pass down traditions, create new things and express our inner selves.” Mellissa has been painting and making objects for the last twelve years, having taken classes and workshops in mosaics, printmaking, ceramics, quilting, extensive drawing and painting, color theory, composition and design and art history. Currently enrolled in a Post Bachelorette studying Fine Arts-Painting and 2D studies at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, she received her BFA at UMASS in 2009 and her Associates degree at Cape Cod Community College in 2006. She offers classes at the Guyer Art Barn.

Vittoria Sault:
Shakespear & Jazz
Opening Reception
Thursday, April 12th,
6:00 – 9:00 pm
Meet the artist Vittoria Sault, and stay to hear local Shakespeare aficionados recite Shakespearean soliloquies and sonnets!
Vittoria Sault, a native Cape Codder, is a graduate of The School of The Museum Fine Arts Boston/Tufts University combined program and Bridgewater State College. Early influences were her mother, the late primitive painter Dorothy Davis, and Vernon Coleman, long time art teacher in the Barnstable public schools. She has exhibited paintings at the Cultural Center, the Falmouth Artists Guild and the Cotuit Center for the Arts. A one woman show was held in Vermont in 2006, at Northern Power, an alternative energy company. Her art teaching experience includes both elementary and secondary levels in several Massachusetts public schools, watercolor instructor for adults at Sandwich Community school, and art class for the After School Enrichment Program at Cotuit Elementary School.
The philosopher who stated “You cannot step into the same river twice” could have been describing the art of watercolor painting. I paint to capture a moment and a feeling. The transient effect of light, the time of day and type of weather, the mood of both artist and viewer, all must be considered and balanced. The interesting accidental effects of this medium also become part of the experience.
It’s an artist’s delight to live in New England. My paintings include locations in Maine, Vermont and Cape Cod. The variety of natural forms and the changing seasons are endlessly interesting. People and animals are part of that world and lend excitement and connection. Developing techniques in watercolor, my most-used medium is exciting and challenging because of its fluid nature.
The collages are sometimes inspired by music, mythology, and literature. They incorporate fabrics, a variety of papers, and sometimes needlepoint or gold leaf. Assembling and balancing these elements is an absorbing process.
Sault quotes Edward Hopper “ ‘If I could say it in words, there would be no reason to paint.’ I invite you to share my vision.”
March 22rd - April 8th
Bernadette Mae<
Opening Reception: Friday Match 23rd, 7 - 10 pm
Bernadette Mae is an emerging Cape Cod painter working at Ditchwerks Studio and Design in Chatham. Raised in Centerville in a home that fostered expression and creativity, she grew up sitting on her mother’s lap exploring art history textbooks. While a student at Barnstable High School, under the guidance of Carl Lopes, she received a number of art scholarships and awards: including acceptance to Art All State at the Worcester Art Museum and the Cape Cod Museum of Art’s Schools to Careers Internship Program where she was introduced to figure artist Sarah Holl in 2006.
More than just a teacher and a role model, Sarah Holl has continually been a mentor, friend and valuable support to Bernadette Mae. Sarah taught her more than just drawing and painting, but also how to display finished work, hang exhibits and host events. With that knowledge, Bernadette Mae started volunteering at the Guyer Art Barn in 2008, where she has gone from keeping the gallery open on Saturdays to administrative assistant for the managing art director, Karen Billard.
Frequently joking that she is “the eternal student;” Bernadette Mae has studied various mediums, including photography, industrial design, and printmaking, at the Art Institute of Boston, Cape Cod Community College and Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
“Although I have studied and had a passion for art for years, it is only recently that I have realized my need to create. Instead of working full time, with limited energy for painting, I have restricted my spending to bills, food and whatever art supplies I can’t find for free. Art is my career whether or not it is the main source of my income, and I couldn’t be any more passionate or certain that this is the right (if not only) choice for me.”

The Pride committee Also worked hand in hand with NY Pride and also other Prides around the World where often times conditions were unsafe and where, in rare instances, committee members were sometimes tortured and even killed. Cape Cod Gay Pride continued to provide a beacon of hope to those communities around the world in places like Uganda, so they could persevere in their struggles for acceptance.
Cape Cod Gay Pride will be joined by WAVE to feature the exhibit “UNBOUND” - The Lesbian Perspective - Visual Memoirs Creation, visual displays collected as part of the 2012 Women’s Avenue (WAVE) Lesbian History Project, sharing lesbian voice through powerful art including multimedia presentation.

Sturgis Charter Public School STAGE: Presents
The Laramie Project
By Moises Kaufman and the Members of the Tectonic Theatre Company

March 16th at 4:00 and 7:00
March 17th at 4:00 and 7:00
Tickets $5.00
Laramie, Wyoming, population 26,687, was the site of the brutal murder of Matthew Shepard, a 21 year-old, gay, University of Wyoming student. On October 6, 1998, he was found tied to a fence, beaten and unconscious. On October 8, 1998, Russell Henderson and Aaron McKinney were arrested for the kidnapping, aggravated robbery and attempted first-degree murder of Matthew Shepard. On October 12, 1998, Matthew Shepard died. The charges against Henderson and McKinney were amended to include first-degree murder.
The Laramie Project is a play by Moises Kaufman and the members of the Tectonic Theatre Project. “On November 14, 1998, members of Tectonic Theatre Project traveled to Laramie, Wyoming, and conducted interviews with the people of the town.” The play is “edited from those interviews, as well as from journal entries by members of the company.” (The Laramie Project, "Introduction") The play is about the town of Laramie, its citizens, and their reaction to Matthew Shepard’s murder.
The Matthew Shepard Foundation honored Moises Kaufman by selecting him for their “Making a Difference Award." Judy Shepard, Matthew’s mother, describes how The Laramie Project has been produced thousands of times all over the world and has become a “source of education and change.” She says, “This play is not about being gay. It is about being hurt for being different, whatever that difference may be.”
Eleven talented actors from Sturgis Charter Public School East play the roles of over 100 characters in The Laramie Project. This is a multi-character journey exploring the feelings and attitudes of Laramie’s citizens; addressing hate crimes and dealing with issues of tolerance, bigotry and self-awareness.
The STAGE production of The Laramie Project will take place at The Hyannis Harbor Arts Center at the Guyer Barn, 250 South Street, on March 15th at 4:00, on March 16th at 4:00 and 7:00 and on March 17th at 4:00 and 7:00.
Tickets can be reserved by e-mailing stagetix@sturgischarterschool.org.
This play contains mature themes and some profanity.

Big Collage is a collective of creative Cape Codders from visual artists to musicians , performers, writers and chefs in both traditional and contemporary media. They are serious artists who put intention over credentials, who view art as a vehicle for personal and social transformation.
Big Collage was founded by artists Greta Ribb and Harley Gardner who saw a need to facilitate progressive, playful, envelope-pushing art on the Cape. For two years they have worked tirelessly to form a thriving ensemble of dedicated interdisciplinary artists and performers. Recent happenings include the Winter Blues Ball, Mayday, A Tribute to Cape Cod, plus a series of Halloween events.
Big Collage is dedicated to looking beyond the idyllic summer seaside resort view of Cape Cod to some of the grittier truths of day to day struggles of year round residents. They do not shy away from themes of substance abuse, suicide and economic challenges faced by Cape Codders, especially young adults who try to make the Cape their home.

THE QUALITY OF LIGHT
Open Juried Exhibit Photography & Poetry
Opening Reception & Poetry Reading:
Thursday, January 12, 2012, 6:00 – 9:00 pm
The first exhibit for 2012 at the Hyannis Harbor Arts Center is an open, juried exhibit, The Quality of Light, featuring the work of photographers and poets. The exhibit runs January 12 – 28, 2012 and is curated by John Byland, a local photographer and poet.
The artists included in the show are: Judy Askew, Betty Anne Bevis, Jessica Bevis, Alan Budney, John Cira, William Clarke, Beverly Cummings, Brittany Curran, Tom Currier, Kathleen Gavin, Ken Gavin, Joe Gouveia, Constantine Gregory, Robin Eliseo, Ruth M. Hauzinger, Eir Lindstrom-Holmy, Susan Melanson, Robert Nash, John Natov, Judith Partelow, Laura Ryan, Stanlee Wetzel & Lauren Wolk. The opening reception, Thursday January 12th from 6:00 – 9:00 pm will feature a reading by selected poets.
Photographer John Byland has been intrigued by the relationship between poetry and photography for a long time; “…a poem and a photograph are momentary happenings, as opposed to film and long fiction, which are protracted art forms.” John is a firm believer in the absolute necessity of the arts within society, and their therapeutic value. A civilization that turns its back on the arts abandons its citizenry to darkness. On himself John says, “It has always been difficult for me to talk about myself, which may be a big part of the reason that I turned to other means of self expression. I can say without fear of error that writing saved me from a very dark place, and fate which I prefer not to think about...so, I owe much to the arts, and hope to repay that debt.” John is from Long Branch, New Jersey, the birth place of Bruce Springsteen, Norman Mailer and past U.S. poet laureate Robert Pinske. He has been a Cape resident since 1987. He is self taught and has shown at two short lived Hyannis galleries
The Hyannis Harbor Arts Center is a showcase for emerging and established artists in a variety of genres. It is a community art space, a working artist studio and a professional artist gallery which supports and promotes the arts through instruction, events, exhibits and performances. Winter hours at the Center are Friday & Saturday, 12-4PM. Other days by chance and always by appointment. Call 508-790-6370 for more information. www.hyartsdistrict.com/hhac
THE HOLLS
for the Holidays
November 10th - December 18th
OPENING RECEPTION
Thursday, November 10th
6:00 - 9:00 pm
The Holl family hold a special place in the arts community on the Cape, living and sharing their art-suffused lives and talents. The Center will exhibit work of the Holl family from November 10th – November 27th. There will be an opening reception Thursday, November 10h from 6:00-9:00 pm.
On display will be the work of Harry Holl, Tina Holl, Kim Holl, Mary Holl Peabody and Sarah Holl. The Holl family, owners of Scargo Pottery & Art Gallery in Dennis, have been an integral force in the arts community on Cape Cod for generations. Mirande, the girls’ mother and Harry’s first wife, raised them surrounded by art. Her parents were artists as well, her father an apprentice to Giacometti, and her mother a sculptor and authority on Rodin. Scargo Pottery has nurtured a generation of Cape Cod artists through teaching and apprenticeships.
Harry Holl attended the famous Black Mountain College after returning from WWII, where he met Mirande. They returned to the Cape, Mirande’s childhood home, to focus on his work. His life and work was most recently documented in A Centered Universe: The Life and Art of Harry Holl a documentary film directed by Kaylyn Thornal which premiered at the Cape Cinema in Dennis in 2002. The Cape Cod Museum of Art, which Harry co-founded, recently built the Harry Holl Sculpture & Clay Studio where classes are offered year-round.
Tina worked alongside her father In the early days of the museum. She is also a co-founder of the Cape Cod Potters COOP and had her own pottery studio, Stoneware Pottery Studio, before returning to Scargo. She has taught in a number of facilities including the Cape Cod Conservatory, Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill and the Cape Cod Museum. Her work “…focuses on dynamic abstract sculptural figures, large in scale and typically coil built, that may combine both human and animal references.”
Sisters Kim Holl and Mary Holl Peabody are also involved at Scargo and produce work both for the Studio and individually. Mary’s work focuses on surface carving and design on thrown pieces, and explorations in slab work, from clay reliefs to birdhouses. Her whimsical style is often narrative, exploring themes from folk tales and popular stories. Individually, she work two dimensionally through painting and drawing.
Kim’s work focuses on functional pieces for house and garden created on the wheel. She is often commissioned to create dinnerware sets and enjoys exploring new patterns and glazes in the process. The challenge of creating works of perfect proportion and balance has been a lifelong pursuit. Kim teaches ceramics to both adult and children.
Sarah regularly produces clay works for Scargo and is often commissioned for ceramic pieces throughout New England and beyond. She has been an influential part of the arts revitalization program in the town of Barnstable where she is artist in residence at the Sarah Holl Art Space, a live/work studio home at the Shirley Blair Flynn Center for the Creative Arts. She has a thriving career as a painter and continues the family tradition of teaching through figure drawing classes at the HHAC for teens and adults, and by mentoring arts interns. Sarah teaches at the Cape Cod Museum as well. She has had a number of solo shows of her work across the Cape and has been written up in numerous publications including Cape Cod Life and Cape Arts Review.
As a family, the Holls have had an enduring influence on generations of Cape Cod artists.
October 14th – November 6th
Tessa D’Agostino
Opening Reception:
Saturday, October 15th, 6:00 – 9:00 pm
This show of Tessa D'Agostino's work will feature sculpture, 2D work such as pen and ink, a variety of nature installations, and more. The show will read as an unfolding story through a variety of art media that speaks cohesively from a conceptual foundation. Tessa is a Cape Cod native with an Associates in Visual Arts degree from Cape Cod Community College and a Bachelors in Fine Arts from The Museum School of Fine Arts and Tufts University, Boston. She actively pursues a variety of art mediums as well as artistic outlets in the Cape Cod area. She teaches a self designed therapeutic and expressive arts program called “Inside Art” at various organizations.
No matter its form, D’Agostino’s work embodies the essence of human/nature relationships, spirituality and metaphysics. She seeks to navigate through the creative process by the use of unrecognizable shape and form in order to birth a finished piece.
“The foundation of my work is strongly based on the constant flow of interconnectedness and how that ongoing bond potentially affects everything. I have a strong relationship with nature which I strive to define within myself through my work. It is this process that also enables me to explore that spiritual connection with the Earth in hopes of understanding the overall link between man and nature. Or, how man and nature are in fact one ongoing organism as well as their interconnectedness with the universe. Essentially this concept is endless in itself. My most recent works have grown to reflect this concept through paintings, sculpture and drawings.”
September 22nd – October 10th
Frank Chike Anigbo: Portraits from the Streets
Opening Reception:
Thursday, September 22nd, 6 – 9PM
"I made this sketch – A Beggar, Seville -- in the spring of 2000. Two months before that I had painted Death of a Skunk when I came upon a skunk dead by the side of a road. At first I instinctively hurried past it with a deep breath drawn in and held, eager to put some distance between us. But I did look at her and for a brief moment allowed myself to see her with the eyes of one whose life is made worse for her death, a mate who waits listlessly for her return, unable to comprehend the finality of her absence.
"It would have been natural to feel sadness for the loss of some unknown dog or a cat dead by the side of a desolate road, because we cannot help but apportion value to a life based on perceived worth to someone we know or can readily imagine; some child somewhere, broken-hearted for the loss of a beloved pet; no one will miss a skunk dead by the side of a road. I went back and painted her with the intent of creating a work of art that transcended the value a person might have assigned to her life. I painted the man in Seville -- an isolated beggar crouched against an immovable wall as though he accepts with all penitence the judgment of a failed life, for that same reason. I wanted to strip away all the distractions that prevent me from seeing a person I might have recognized -- a long-lost brother, my father, my friend. I wanted to allow myself to see and feel by assigning value to this stranger based on his worth to someone that knew him well.
"My work explores the value of life, especially the lives of isolated individuals on the margins of society – often the chronically homeless and mentally ill, people whose social contribution and impact is negligible by our accepted definitions of value, people whose mortality is the least of society’s concerns. With writing and painting that speaks of the universal parallels of life, I aim to challenge the way we perceive worth and allocate value – at the same time staying true to the condition of the subjects whose lives I document in painted portraits and writing.
"The portraits contained in this exhibit are representative of the individuals I have met in the streets of many cities, but especially the small section of downtown Los Angeles known as Skid Row. Sherri, the one-time child-prostitute and convicted killer of a husband who raped her 6-year-old daughter; Patrick, the gentle soul unable to come to terms with the death of his beloved mother; “Shaky” – they call him that because he shakes each morning until he has had some alcohol in him; Eduardo, the recovering drug addict grandfather determined to regain control of his life and the trust of his family; Stephanie, the young mother and heroin addict whose hope to someday reunite with her children keeps her from taking her life.
"My writing and paintings attempt to bring these alienated individuals into the context of our own lives, despite the often stark differences in the ways and places we live, and to challenge perceptions of worth and the criteria by which we allocate value to a person.

Cassandra: Everyone I’ve Never Met
Opening Reception:
Thursday September 1st, 7-10PM
Cassandra dabbled in painting on and off from the age of 17. She tried a number of different paths – from EMT, to the Army, to sword swallower in a carnival. While working as a security guard five years ago, Cassandra began painting in earnest in response to her father passing away. After being fired from that job, she decided that it was time to pursue her art full-time. “My art is a meditation on, as well as an attempt to capture, the moment when a complex inner life meets the unyielding outside world…The landscape of the face is capable of revealing, to the viewer, all the truths that have ever been known.”
“We are very excited to bring this artist to the Mid-Cape community – this is a very powerful body of work” says HHAC managing director Karen Billard. “My daughter and I first saw her work at the DeLuca Gallery in Provincetown, and were very moved by the intensity and vulnerability of these portraits. Her work fits the Center’s mission to support emerging artists, and to bring important work to the community to inspire and educate.”
August 14th - August 28th
Sutton Foster & Julien Havard: Recent Works
Opening Reception:
Monday August 15th 7-10PM
A show of recent work by Julien Havard, Artist-in-Residence at the Hyannis Harbor Art Center and Tony-Award Winning Actress, Sutton Foster will be featured at the Hyannis Harbor Arts Center from August 14th –August 28th. All are invited to join the artists at a reception on Monday, August 15th from 7-10PM.
A friendship born backstage on Broadway has blossomed into a beautiful and creative dialogue between two artists. Sutton Foster and Julien Havard first met in 2001 when Julien was hired as Sutton’s personal dresser on the Broadway musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie, a role for which Sutton won her first Tony award for Best Actress. Their working relationship continued as Sutton played major roles in such Broadway productions as Little Women, The Drowsy Chaperone, Young Frankenstein, and Shrek the Musical. The two also became very close friends through the long hours they spent backstage on each production. While Sutton was onstage or in rehearsal, Julien would work on his artwork, often capturing characters from the productions on which they were working.
Inspired by Julien’s vibrant works, Sutton also began creating artwork of her own including beautiful ink drawings and paper collage. Just like her stage work, Sutton Foster's drawings can be appreciated on two unique levels. From afar, they suggest a moment caught in time, a portrait of nature. But look closely, and you can begin to appreciate all of the details involved. With this collection, Sutton reminds us that love is in the details.
This spring, Ms. Foster won her second Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her performance as Reno Sweeney in the Roundabout Theater’s revival of Anything Goes. During the nationally-televised awards ceremony, Sutton acknowledged in her heartfelt acceptance speech that Julien Havard was moving to Cape Cod to pursue his dream of becoming a professional artist. With Julien as Artist-in-Residence at the Hyannis Harbor Arts Center, the two friends began to hatch a plan to exhibit their artwork together, a first for Ms. Foster, who has never shown her work publicly before now. The resulting show is a testament to their friendship and an amazing expression of creativity from two artists with very diverse talents. Ms. Foster will be present to celebrate the show at the Artists’ Reception on Monday, August 15th from 7-10PM.
The Julien Havard Art & Design Studio is located at the Hyannis Harbor Arts Center, and is open to the public Wednesday – Sunday, 12pm – 5pm- other days by chance or by appointment. Julien can be reached at 646-334-9073.
July 21 - August 7th:
Sarah Dineen: "Unleashed II": Recent Work
Opening Reception: July 28th 6PM - 9PM
Sarah Dineen is both an abstract and representational painter. With her love of color, texture, form and intuition she energetically fuses these two disciplines to create an intensely rich, powerful visual language all her own.
Sarah describes her work as mostly abstract, with inspirations from the natural world. When asked about her creative process she says, “I begin each painting with a person, object or experience in mind. The paintings are discovered within the process of making them, not mapped out beforehand. Intuition and chance balanced with real life observation come together to create psychological pictures that challenge the viewer by offering up a combination of abstract and representational elements”.
Sarah Dineen received a BFA from Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, MA. She also attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City and was most recently a visiting artist at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green where she had a solo exhibition. Sarah has been included in many group and solo exhibitions including the Provincetown Art Association & Museum, the Cape Cod Museum of Art, the Edward Hopper House Art Center, Nyack, NY and A.I.R. Gallery, Brooklyn, NY. She is currently in a group show called “Condition X” at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
July 1st - July 17th
Roberta Meg Hurlburt: Assemblages
Opening Reception: July 7th, 6PM - 9PM
Born in North Central New Jersey, Roberta Meg Hurlburt spent all of her summers on Cape Cod. A lifetime of beachcombing and hunting for visually distinctive objects sparked an artistic flare that shines in her assemblages. Her art is sculptural and colorful, using three-dimensional fragments to crystallize unique expression.
Roberta attended Rollins College and Boston University’s School of Fine Arts, majoring in Sculpture. She also studied at the Maryland Institute of Art and the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, DC from 1995-1998. Inevitably, her passion and love for the Cape drew her to a permanent home in East Orleans.
Roberta’s love for her art has taken her to the beach, the garage and the junkyard. “I suppose my art springs from fun and serendipity. I will find beauty in a single found object and with fun and enjoyment introduce it to another object that has artistic compatibility.” Her sculptural assemblages speak of the familiar and the surprising. They call to mind the old and the new, the manmade and the natural, found objects and imagined creations. Each element of her pieces has its own history which is interpreted in juxtaposition with items the artist has chosen.
A solo exhibition of Roberta’s assemblages was held at the Cape Cod Museum of Art in Dennis, MA in 2006.

About
About HyArts Shanties
In 2005, the town designed and built a boardwalk and installed seven artist shanties to serve as affordable, unique studio and gallery space for local artists and artisans. The shanty program, an integral component of the HyArts District summer program, has flourished and continues to grow each year, garnering overwhelmingly positive feedback from both the arts community and residents and visitors.
This popular attraction provides a picturesque setting to view art made by both man and nature. A visit to the artist shanties guarantees a cultural experience that is unmatched! This is a unique opportunity to meet Cape Cod artists and watch them work along the inspiring backdrop of Hyannis harbor.
As part of the program the town collects data from the artists who participate each season. The data includes number of visitors and items sold as well as artist revenues. The town uses this information to track program progress and for grant reporting and applications.
Since it’s inception in 2005, this arts program has been a successful venue for participating artists. In the first season 11 artists collectively earned $80,000. Over the eight year life of the program the collective earnings of 300 artists is over $800,000. The program is designed to support arts and culture in downtown Hyannis with the ultimate goal of increasing visitors to the harbor area and downtown. A half million visitors have visited the shanties since 2005.
In 2009 two shanties were moved from the center of the boardwalk to new locations at either end providing a move open view of the harbor. Over the years visitors enjoy a myriad of mediums found at the shanties including fiber art, watercolor, pastels, oils, pressed seaweed, photography, gouache paintings, pen and ink drawings, rope work, jewelry, pottery, wood carving, scrimshaw, glass work, fine tapestry and much more.
Through generous funding and support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and our grant partners, over 300 artists have enjoyed increased sales and recognition through their participation in the HyA Program. This program continues with the generous grant support of the Massachusetts Cultural Council, Adams Grant, along with our partners the Main Street Business Improvement District (BID), Cape Cod Art Association (CCAA), Arts Foundation of Cape Cod (AFCC), the Hyannis Area Chamber of Commerce and in coordination with Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce.
When are the artist shanties open? Each year the shanties open Friday through Sunday (11AM-5PM) mid -May through the end of June. Open Monday, Memorial Day and Monday, Labor Day. The last week of June through the end of September, the shanties are open seven days a week. Hours in prime summer months are 11AM until 8PM. In September, 11AM until 5PM.

Walkway to the Sea
HyArts Walkway to the Sea and Public Art
Stroll along the HyArts DISTRICT Walkway to the Sea and enjoy various public art pieces in the downtown and waterfront areas of Hyannis.
A few hundred yards off Main Street is the grandeur of the ocean, the source of so much of Cape Cod's past and present prosperity. The Walkway to the Sea links our historic waterfront to the downtown Hyannis area. The wave-patterned brick path winds from Main Street at the Village Green all the way down to Bismore Park, Ocean Street and Hyannis Harbor.
Along the way are colorful art installations of lobster buoys. Visitors will stroll past a seasonal stage in Aselton Park, where free musical and theatrical performances are held in the evenings during the summer. Enjoy the view, soft grass and space to sit and reflect for awhile. Past Aselton, the walkway ends in Bismore Park, and the HyArts Shanties. Juried artists and artisans rent the sheds as both work space and selling arenas from May-Columbus Day weekend in October.
Walkway to the Sea History
Envisioned by renowned Architect Ben Thompson, the Walkway to the Sea was first rendered in 1962. Thompson, who received the Gold medal of the American Institute of Architects, the industry’s highest honor, was the first to recognize the significance of linking downtown Hyannis to its historic waterfront.
With a long history as the region’s center for commerce, Thompson and many before him recognized Hyannis as the capital of the Cape. Frequently revived over the years by community members, businessmen and town leaders, the Walkway to the Sea began its latest incarnation in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Private and public dollars, countless public hearings, and multitudes of consortia worked together to identify dollars to purchase blighted properties on the corner of South and Ocean Streets, to design and construct what is now known as Aselton Park, the historic Town Green and the long-awaited Walkway to the Sea. State funds were identified and then nearly lost to assist in the effort.
John Klimm, currently our Town Manager but the then State Representative, fought to restore state funds necessary to enhance and preserve the Cape’s natural beauty and in 1994 Cape Cod Bank and Trust Company pledged some $30,000 to partner with the Town of Barnstable to raze blighted buildings in what is now a beautiful park overlooking Hyannis Harbor. In the late 1990s state funds through the Executive Office of Housing and Urban Development were identified as the final pieces of the puzzle in the development of the Walkway to the Sea Project.
Countless groups, individuals and organizations participated in the development of this project over the many years following Ben Thompson’s original vision and include (but is not limited to): the Hyannis Chamber of Commerce, the Hyannis BID, the Hyannis Civic Association, the HADEDC Board, the Hyannis Vision Group, the Hyannis Main Street Waterfront Historic Commission, Barnstable Town Council, and individuals Dexter Leen and Shirlee Shaughnessy.
Walkway to the Sea highlights
Buoyed Coasts: Public Art Installation, Aselton Park, Ocean Street, Hyannis Visitors to Hyannis Harbor can enjoy the Town's seasonal public art installation, Buoyed Coasts, which consists of 50 lobster buoys mounted on 12’-19’ poles in ornamental grass beds. The buoys frame the harbor and create a display of color, light and kinetic motion drawing activity and attention to Aselton Park. They also serve as an advocacy piece to create awareness around the critical state of coastal waters quality in the area. The project heightens the awareness of the 81,000 daily visitors that pass through Hyannis Harbor to the nitrogen run-off problem threatening the Cape’s marine ecology. The color of the buoys represent the levels of water quality in the Northeast.
Art Around Town
725 Main Street, Hyannis: Walking Garden and Hummingbird sculpture
The property located at 725 Main Street, Hyannis, a former gas station, was acquired with funds from the Land Bank in 2001. The grounds were transformed into a beautiful, picturesque walking garden. The various perennials planted on site were chosen because they have a positive environmental impact: they thrive off pollutants in the ground. Brownfield sites and others in the area will benefit from the “725” garden as it acts as a nursery. These plants can easily be transplanted to other locations throughout the town and assist in pollution control. Visitors are encouraged to walk the garden and enjoy the beauty. The Growth Management Department, welcomed sculptor Donald Gerola to 725 Main Street, Hyannis for the unveiling of a special art installation on loan to the Town of Barnstable in October 2008. While Mr. Gerola seldom names his pieces, this piece is titled “The Hummingbird”. Cape Cod is familiar with rare hummingbird sightings as was discovered in Dennis this summer. Hyannis now has its own rare “Hummingbird”. Donald Gerola is a sculptor who moved from Pennsylvania to Rhode Island in 2006 when an invitation came to set up a collaborative in Pawtucket’s former textile mills. Mr. Gerola grew up fascinated with applied science, and studied Physics at The University of Dayton, Ohio. He mentored under his stepfather, William Borland, Chief of Materials for the stricken World Trade Centers, from whom he got his penchant for steel. All his sculptures are made from it.

The Guyer Barn is a showcase for emerging and established local artists in a wide variety of genres. It is a community art space – a working artist studio and professional artist gallery supporting and promoting the arts where visitors gather year round to enjoy changing exhibitions, classes and workshops and performances. The Center is part of the HyArts campus of town owned properties-which includes Sarah Holl Artspace at 46 Pearl Street and Gallery Artrio and Bass River Pottery at 50 Pearl. 50 Pearl was once a residential home and has a rich history as a gathering place for local artists. Playwrights and poets congregated at the home for lively readings and original Vernon B. Coleman murals decorate the basement walls. Throughout the year visitors can meet the artists at 46 and 50 Pearl.
Volunteers Needed!
Do you have time to spare during the week? Why not surround yourself with art and help keep the arts alive in the community! The Hyannis Harbor Arts Center is looking for volunteers to help man the gallery. Any amount of time is appreciated! For more information or to volunteer contact barn@hyartsdistrict.com!
BUILDING HISTORY:
The Guyer Barn, was accepted into the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, was built in 1865 by Captain Sidney Crowell and is a typical example of early wood frame construction. Arthur Guyer, a pharmacist for whom it was later named, acquired the barn at the turn of 20th century. The barn has had a number of owners and uses over the years. In 1959, the Town of Barnstable acquired the building, but it was not until 1986 that the Board of Selectmen approved the use of the building as a gallery. A studio/workshop was added to the barn to be used as classroom space. Over the ensuing decades, the barn's transformation and place in the community continued to evolve. Pat Curcio who served as director for many years, was an accomplished artist and a champion of the arts. She and friend Shirley Blair Flynn worked tirelessly to support local artists. Pat passed away in August 2007.

Sarah Holl’s passion is evident in her vibrant, colorful paintings. She is an ardent and talented professional artist who has worked in both clay and paint for over 20 years. Sarah’s daily life revolves around art making and community involvement within the arts. She teaches weekly figure drawing classes at the Guyer Barn.

Sarah is a creative force. A visit to Artspace offers one the opportunity for fabulous conversation and time to take in the unique, beautiful works of art and the home itself, built in 1920 and complete with a resident ghost, according to Sarah!
Artist work studios @50 Pearl
HyArts Campus
The HyArts campus located at the corner of Pearl and South Streets in Hyannis providing artist work and gallery space. The campus includes the historic Hyannis Harbor Arts Center, at the Guyer Barn, artist in residence Sarah Holl’s ArtSpace and Gallery Artio and Bass River Pottery.
Pearl Street is located between bustling Main Street and the harbor front and is adjacent to the future site of the new regional performing arts center.
50 Pearl Street was constructed in 1830 as a residential home and has a rich history as a gathering place for local artists. Playwrights and poets congregated at the home for lively readings, and nautical-themed original Vernon B. Coleman murals decorate the basement walls.
Gallery Artrio and Bass River Pottery at 50 Pearl Street are the newest additions to the HyArts Campus located in the HyArts Cultural District in downtown Hyannis. Pearl Street plays an important role as part of the Town-owned properties on the arts campus at the corner of South and Pearl, a unique artist live / work space developed by the Town of Barnstable which also includes the Guyer Barn and Sarah Holl ArtSpace.
Gallery Artrio is owned and managed by three artists; Susan Carey, Kathy Edmonston and Colleen Vandeventer, who bring diverse professional backgrounds to the business and come together with a common vision for this new fine art gallery.
As former participants in the HyArts Shanties Program, the artists have watched the Hyannis arts scene develop. “We think it is the right time to bring a fine art gallery downtown and had been looking for the right space,” said Kathy Edmonston of East Sandwich. “Our goal is to offer quality fine art in a beautiful, relaxing environment that showcases the work of the artists in a way we think patrons will love,” said Sue Carey of West Hyannisport. “We had more in mind than a gallery, when we imagined Artrio,” Colleen Vandeventer said. “We want to be active participants in this emerging arts district. So, we will have a working artist studio during gallery hours in the summer. Off-season we will convert more of the summer gallery into working studios. We’ll have Open Studio events, special exhibits and occasional workshops to keep us busy year round.”
Gallery Artrio will represent several local painters, as well as handblown glass from McDermott Glass Studio in Sandwich, and hand-wrought jewelry from two design studios. The Gallery plans to open the end of May. www.galleryartrio.com
Bass River Pottery is the work of local potter, Jeanmarie O’Clair. Her work includes sgraffito work, functional stoneware, whimsical sculpture and hand cut artisan tiles along with her original Mermaid Mug and Sea Shell Earring bowls. “Don't wait to use the "good dishes", every day is a good day!” says Jeanmarie, who is looking forward to have her own studio workspace alongside other artists. “To have a studio near the ocean and be recognized as a working artist is a dream come true. The chance to collaborate with other artists and be in the heart of downtown Hyannis is exciting and inspiring. I am looking forward to a busy season!” Jeanmarie’s studio is open to the public, currently weekdays, 9:30AM-3PM and always by appointment. www.bassriverpottery.com
The HyArts Campus located at the corner of Pearl and South Street provides community art space, working artist studios and a professional artist gallery which support and promote the arts through instruction, events, exhibits and performances; the campus includes Gallery Artrio, Bass River Pottery, Sarah Holl ArtSpace and the Guyer Barn. www.hyartsdistrict.com and on facebook at hyartsdistrict.

The Town purchased 50 Pearl in 2007 and completed extensive renovations to the building, including making it handicapped accessible. The year round work studio spaces range in size from 150 to 230 square feet, with a shared kitchen area, handicapped accessible bath and storage space. Each unit offers wood floors, windows, free designated parking, wheelchair accessibility, 24 hour access, keyed doors, new outlets and separate switches for new adjustable track lighting. 220 power is available for electric kilns if desired. There is also a seasonal potting studio in the former detached garage on the property. Generous funding for the acquisition and renovation of these properties into artist live / workspace was received from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant Program, the Community Preservation Committee, and the Lyndon P. LoRusso Foundation.
Visual Arts
The Town of Barnstable recognizes the importance of arts and culture as part of any economic revitalization, and continues to establish Hyannis as a regional center for creative and performing arts.
Prior to recently establishing THE HyArts DISTRICT, Barnstable first introduced the Harbor Shanties and Harbor Your Arts (HyA) program in the summer of 2005 as a key component of the downtown Hyannis revitalization initiative to support the creative economy and foster economic growth. The shanties are a welcome addition to Hyannis Harbor. The artist shanties provide a unique, affordable harbor-front location for our local artists to create and sell their work. The program has been well received by Cape residents, visitors and the arts and culture community.
In 2006 the program expanded to include the performing arts, providing free family entertainment at Aselton Park, a beautiful waterfront location on the Harbor, near the artist shanties.
Be sure to take a stroll along the HyArts DISTRICT Walkway to the Sea. The Town has actively pursued and initiated the installation of various public art pieces in the downtown and waterfront areas of Hyannis. For example, currently, visitors to Hyannis harbor can enjoy the seasonal public art installation, Buoyed Coasts, which consists of 50 lobster buoys mounted on 12’-19’ poles in ornamental grass beds. The buoys frame the harbor and create a display of color, light and kinetic motion drawing activity and attention to Aselton Park. Buoyed Coasts was awarded the Honor Award by the Boston Society of Landscape Architects.
The Town’s visual arts program has continued to expand over the years, including a campus of town-owned properties at the corner of Pearl and South Streets in Hyannis. In 2007 the Town acquired two run down properties on Pearl Street and converted them to artist live and work space. From this humble beginning, a campus of buildings that provide living, work and gallery space has been developed as part of the Shirley Blair Flynn Center for the Creative Arts. The campus includes the historic Hyannis Harbor Arts Center, artist-in-residence Sarah Holl’s ArtSpace and HyArts work studios. Pearl Street is located between bustling Main Street and the harbor front, where the popular HyArts Shanties are open throughout the summer, offering artists and artisans space to create and sell their work.
The Town offers an "artwork on loan" program for local artists to temporarily display their work on the meeting room walls in the Selectman’s Conference Room and the Town Hall Hearing Room. The pieces are for display only-artwork may not be sold on Town property. Information on the artist is provided for those wishing to obtain further details. For more information on the program email melissa.hersh@town.barnstable.ma.us
Those visiting and using the meeting rooms will now find an inviting and culturally rich environment. This program provides an opportunity for our local artists to benefit from this exposure to so many who pass through town hall every day. Spreading the love of art one wall at a time-it’s a wonderful opportunity to see local art! Arts and culture programming is one component of our overall economic strategy.

About HyArts
About the HyArts District
Recognizing the importance of the arts in a vibrant community, the Town of Barnstable has established the HyArts (Hyannis Arts) DISTRICT to enhance and enrich the quality of life for residents and visitors by coordinating and supporting activities promoting arts and culture.
The Town has partnered with many local and regional arts organizations to establish the Hyannis HyArts Cultural District as a regional center for the creative and performing arts. Our partners include the Massachusetts Cultural Council, Cape Cod Art Association, Hyannis Main Street Business Improvement District, Arts Foundation of Cape Cod, Hyannis Area Chamber of Commerce, Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce and Town of Barnstable
HyArts History
Prior to the creating of the HyArts Cultural District, Barnstable introduced the Harbor Shanties and Harbor Your Arts (HyA) program in the summer of 2005, to provide a unique, affordable harbor-front location for our local artists to create and sell their work. This program was widely acclaimed as a welcome addition to Hyannis Harbor and was very well received by Cape residents, visitors, and the arts and culture community.
The Town’s visual arts program has also expanded over the years, thanks to the HyArts Campus, a grouping of town owned properties at the corner of Pearl and South Streets in Hyannis including the <Hyannis Harbor Arts Center, Artist work studios @ 50 Pearl and Sarah Holl Artspace. In addition, Barnstable has actively pursued and initiated the installation of various public art pieces in the downtown and waterfront areas of Hyannis, creating the HyArts DISTRICT’s beautiful Walkway to the Sea. The Town expanded in 2006 to include the performing arts. The Performing Arts program provides family entertainment at Aselton Park, a beautiful waterfront location on Hyannis harbor.
