Arnie Jarmak’s photographs of the destruction of the Fisherman’s Institute are as relevant today as they were when the photos were taken over 40 years ago. For this writer they are a cautionary tale about: Where do we come from?

The Dogtown Writers Festival is generously funded in part by the Joseph Garland Legacy Project. The GWC can't thank the Garland family enough. Please read about this incredible man and his wife, Helen. ❤️ Democracy. History. Community. Environment. Throughout his life in Gloucester, historian and writer Joseph E. Garland advocated for a fully engaged citizenry to preserve the city’s integrity, authenticity, and transparency as a democratically participatory community. Joe recognized that the very fabric of Gloucester’s cultural identity was at risk of dissolution in the face of larger industrial shifts fundamentally changing its socioeconomic landscape. His impassioned writing served as a community conscience, prodding citizen involvement in preserving Gloucester’s history and heritage. The Garland Legacy Project arose from the vision of Helen Garland and family members to ensure that Joe’s central values would continue to inspire and guide key endeavors which were dear to him. The Garland Legacy Project honors Gloucester’s history, culture, and natural environment by providing support to innovative Gloucester programs that advance citizen self-governance, historic awareness of place and purpose, leadership in ocean and all environmental stewardship, preservation of the “commonwealth,” the importance of the written word, the literary arts, and the pursuit of peace. The Garland Legacy Project strives to ensure that these defining values embraced by Joe and Helen Garland remain vibrant and relevant, serving to promote a just, compassionate society, a transparent accountable government, and a sustained healthy planet. #environment #history #community #democracy #dwf #dogtown #dogtownwritersfestival #gloucesterma #gloucester #gwc #gloucesterwriterscenter #josephgarland #garlandlegacyproject #support https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ZGkQGHAUR/?igshid=1jz4e19yktkgf
