Gloucester, MA — The Rocky Neck Art Colony is thrilled to announce “Energy of Color,” an immersive and vibrant new exhibition at the historic Cove Gallery, located at 37 Rocky Neck Avenue in the heart of Gloucester’s Rocky Neck Cultural District.

This dazzling show features the work of North Shore artists who draw inspiration from the striking hues and natural beauty of Cape Ann and beyond. Whether rooted in the shimmering coastal light or influenced by far-flung travels, each piece in this exhibition offers a unique interpretation of color’s emotional and expressive power.

“Energy of Color” explores the profound relationship between artists and their environments. The distinct palettes of land, sea, and sky influence both conscious and instinctive artistic choices. The result is a body of work that pulses with life, emotion, and a deep sense of place.

“Color is more than a visual experience—it’s memory, mood, and moment," says painter and curator Nic Bannerman. "This show invites viewers to feel the world as we do—through the lens of color.”

Visitors will experience a dynamic range of media, including painting, ceramics, and photography, all unified by their passionate engagement with color as a storytelling force.

Exhibiting Artists:   

• Nic Bannerman (Painter, Curator)

• Pia Juhl Nadel (Painter)
