COSMOS Gallery
20 Pleasant Street
Gloucester, Massachusetts
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.
During our first year, we staged nine shows for regional artists! Showing as group and solo installations - with many artists selling their works to collectors.
COSMOS Members and Patrons received discounts on their art purchases at COSMOS Gallery, with almost a third taking advantage of this membership benefit! The discounts can be used throughout active membership, not simply one time.
COSMOS Gallery is located across the street from Cape Ann Museum, Jane Deering Gallery, 1623 Studio, and around the corner from the Main Street cultural action. We look forward to seeing you in the gallery!
