Join the Cape Ann Museum and Discover Gloucester for a Mug Up with the photographers of the Gloucester Daily Times in the galleries to celebrate the closing weekend of Above the Fold: The Photographers of the “Gloucester Daily Times,” 1973-2005. This special exhibit features a selection of works by photographers shooting for the Times over three decades. The photographs draw on an important archive of an estimated one million photographs recently donated to the Cape Ann Museum by the North of Boston Media Group.   

Building on the success of the Museum’s exhibition featuring the work of long-time staff photographer Charlie Lowe in 2009, this new exhibition, Above the Fold, focuses on the next generation of staff photographers at the paper while highlighting Lowe’s legacy and influence. The exhibition shares the important role local journalism, and specifically photojournalism, plays in documenting community. 

The Cape Ann Museum acknowledges the North of Boston Media Group and the Gloucester Daily Times for sponsoring and assisting in the creation of Above the Fold and The Clara E. and John H. Ware Jr. Foundation for their support of the CAM Photo Archives and the initiatives of the Library & Archives.
