Celebrate the Motif in May!

While we can’t come together for the Motif No.1 Day in the traditional way, we can still celebrate the Motif! Join organizations and businesses throughout Rockport in honoring our iconic fishing shack. And be sure to purchase your  collectible 2021 Motif poster.

This year’s poster theme is fitting: Save Motif 1 Day! The festival that defines the unique spirit of Rockport has now been quarantined (so to speak) for two years. Rockport Exchange would love to bring Motif No. 1 Day back in 2022, but we need your help! Proceeds from the sale of posters support the all-volunteer community work of Rockport Exchange.

You can purchase online or by stopping by the wonderful establishments, listed below, who have partnered with us in offering the 2021 poster for sale.

Many, many thanks to the following businesses:

The Paper Mermaid, John Tarr Store, Bullseye Books-Flyboys, Tuck’s Candy & Gifts, Seaside Boutique and Beads, Sea and Cellar, Floating Lotus, Wicked Peacock, Love Strut Boutique, Susie’s Stories, Nature’s Body Art, Esmeralda’s, Bearskin Neck Leathers, Katie’s Gift Shop, The Dove, James Russell Goldsmiths, Lula’s Pantry, Coast and Country Boutique, The Last Resort

This year’s poster is designed by our own Darren Mason, with his usual blend of artistic skill, appreciation for Rockport, and a bit of wry humor. Thank you Darren!!!

The Motif by Rockport Artist David Arsenault

Rockport artist David Arsenault submitted  four different depictions of the Motif, each one entirely unique in capturing the Motif in a different mood. Since moving to Rockport five years ago, David has been generous with his talent in donating to the community — providing one of his paintings of the Motif all the way back in  2017 for our annual Motif No. 1 Day Commemorative Poster (see below).

Thank you for your gifts and your ongoing generosity, David!

Volunteer to help Reduce and Recycle at Harvestfest

From Sharon Kishida, the Harvestfest ZWI coordinator:

This year’s Harvest Fest, as in years past, is intent on minimizing the amount of trash we generate.  To that end, we are hoping to enlist a volunteer corps to help make this possible.

Volunteers will:

  • help the public sort their recyclables, compostables and trash into designated containers (training provided);
  • switch out recycling and trash bags, compost containers once full
  • collect recyclables and compostables from designated bins;
  • get a free T-shirt for a minimum of two hours work
  • measure results
  • have fun and enjoy the festival while reducing waste and slowing climate change!  🙂

Volunteers are needed starting at 9am through 6pm for consolidation. We are looking for volunteers ideally able to work three hour shifts.   You can work alone or in a team or we can put you in a team, so you won’t be alone!

To volunteer, click here

For more information contact, Eric Magers

Please forward, post, and share widely! This opportunity is open to groups, students, clubs, scout troops, teams, families, individuals, adults, students…   

 Thank you! We could not run this valuable program without volunteers!  Together, we make a difference!
