FRIDAY JUNE 12, 5-8PM
OPENING NIGHT AND STREET PARTY!
Please join us!! If you have never been to our fabulous street party, we would love to see you and share smiles, laughter, art, barbecue, drinks, live music, and lots of dancing (Deb's favorite part - she even made some wearable art for dancing). All are welcome - bring your friends, family, children, and pets! Gallery RAG is dedicated to supporting our whole community, not just the arts. As usual, Rick will be running his popular barbecue stand and drumming up bidders for our amazing selection of silent auction items. There will be a tent for shade or rainy weather and inside the gallery there will be an exhibition of Deb's work made during her sailing travels in the Caribbean and Gloucester MA (the wearable art will be for sale too). Proceeds of the silent auction and all art sales will go to support Gallery RAG's artist residency program, the Art+Everywhere Foundation, and will help keep the arts alive on Rocky Neck!
There is plenty to see and do in Gloucester - make a weekend of it!

COCO HAZE RESIDENCY
IMPROVISATIONAL, IMMERSIVE INSTALLATIONs
Join us for the beginning of the CoCo Haze Residency during the month of July.
Opening Night: The First Activation of CoCo Haze
Gallery RAG
Gallery RAG
CoCo Haze is not a single person but a collective identity—an experiment in dissolving the boundaries of authorship. Initiated by Deborah Read and Tracy Haze, CoCo expands to include other artists, writers, and participants as the work unfolds. CoCo is porous, flexible, and alive.
On opening night, Tracy and Deb will begin the first iteration of CoCo for the month, working live in the gallery—installing, improvising, and making art in real time. The audience is invited to witness the process as it happens.
This is not an unveiling but an activation.
The environment created that evening becomes the stage for the rest of the month—a living installation where artists, poets, writers, and visitors are invited to enter, respond, and participate. Nothing is fixed in advance. The work grows through encounter.
CoCo Haze is less a name than a field of relations—
an ongoing practice of making and unmaking the self together.
