Member’s Trip to the Manship Artists Residency

Description

The Manship Artists Residency property, a rare survival from a former time, was once at the center of an important art community that hosted some of America’s greatest sculptors and other artists. MARS is continuing the legacy of the Manship family of artists: Paul, John, and Margaret; and the artists who have historically come to Cape Ann to seek community and inspiration while living and working here. 

Join Rebecca Reynolds, executive director of the Manship Artists Residency, for an intimate tour of the private home and grounds of sculptor Paul Manship. Sculptor Morgan Dummitt will be in residence prior to his evening talk at the Cape Ann Museum. Dummit is the 2024 Walker Hancock Sculptor-in-Residence at Manship Artists Residency, a joint program with the National Sculpture Society. 

This program is presented in conjunction with the Museum’s current special exhibition, In the Round: 20th Century Cape Ann Sculpture.
