COSMOS Gallery
COSMOS Gallery opened in February of 2025 as an offshoot of the Cape Ann COSMOS Events List. The gallery is a logical step in COSMOS’ mission to enrich the connection between creators and collectors. Plans for the new gallery include frequent shows of artists from the greater Cape Ann region and beyond, and eventually a large online inventory of their work. The location also serves as Cape Ann COSMOS business headquarters and as a space for receptions and events.
