This exhibition is comprised primarily of works by 20th century and contemporary artists, many of which are recent acquisitions to the Museum’s permanent collection.  Featured artists include Nell Blaine, Bernard Chaet, Debbie Clarke, Charlie Carroll and Roger Martin.  Works are displayed in groups of four, giving viewers a chance to appreciate the strengths and talents of each artist.  In recent years, the Cape Ann Museum has worked hard to expand its collection and is very pleased to share the fruits of its labors with visitors.
