Every year, a committee made up of collectors, gallerists, artists and staff affiliated with the Rockport Center for the Arts gathers to select one master artist who will join a select group of individuals known for their achievements and excellence in the Arts, for their engagement and contributions to the organization and for their ability to capture the coastal aesthetic that Rockport and the Rockport Art Festival are known for.  A 28 year old tradition continues next year with the selection of Robin Hazard (http://robinhazard.com/).  The Rockport Art Festival (since 1969) will take place July 3rd and 4th, 2021.
