COSMOS Gallery
COSMOS Gallery opened in February of 2025 as an offshoot of the Cape Ann COSMOS Newsletter. The gallery is a logical step in COSMOS’ mission to enrich the connection between creators and collectors.
In 2026 we will exhibit a range of new work by contemporary artists from the greater Cape Ann region, with seven major exhibitions planned for the gallery. We are also scheduling dedicated events, such as presentations and artist talks, to enrich cultural learning.
COSMOS Gallery News was launched to provide gallery updates as well as background information on artists and speakers. The newsletter is a benefit included in our COSMOS membership levels, starting at $29/year: Information COSMOS Plans
COSMOS Gallery is located across the street from Cape Ann Museum, Jane Deering Gallery, 1623 Studios, and around the corner from Main Street cultural action. We look forward to seeing you in the gallery!
