Crane Estate Art Show: Life in Color
Castle Hill on the Crane Estate
Ipswich, Massachusetts
There are few events that combine the elements which symbolize and materialize the cultural world of Greater Cape Ann as well as the annual Crane Estate Art Show, recently held November 5-7. The elements include works by many leading regional artists, the magnificent Castle Hill home and edifice from a bygone era, and the grounds and elevation that looks out on the surrounding terrain, which is dizzyingly gorgeous.
The art show is arranged throughout different rooms of the house, which creates wonderful tableaux of contrast between the new art and the pre-existing art that still lives within the house’s décor. A little music in the background and artists mingling with the attendees, all made for a sublime Cape Ann cultural experience.
