Gravure Gallery is located in historic Gloucester, Massachusetts. In addition to being one of America's oldest and most illustrious fishing ports, Gloucester has for centuries been a destination for artists, including such figures as Edward Hopper, Stuart Davis, Winslow Homer, and Fitz Hugh Lane, among others. This rich history of art continues to this day.
The gallery is conveniently located in the heart of Gloucester's downtown at 51 Main Street. The city's oldest bank building is now home to the renowned, large-scale reduction woodcuts of Don Gorvett. In addition to Don's work, we also feature a unique collection of fine prints and other works by some of New England's most accomplished artists and printmakers, including Sidney Hurwitz, Alex deConstant, Conrad Marvin, Vivian Berman, Sean Hurley, Bill Duffy, Jeffrey and Lindley Briggs, and Ralph Gorvett .
Gravure gallery opened in June 2009, prior to which time Don Gorvett had owned and operated Piscataqua Fine Arts Gallery and 
Printmaking Studio in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Until recently a full time resident of Ogunquit, Maine, Don has now returned to Gloucester, where he lived for many years in the 1970's and 80's. Ironically, Don once lived upstairs in the building that now houses his gallery.
In addition to its exhibition space, Gravure gallery houses an active printmaking studio. We have a Conrad Etching Press with a 24" x 48" bed, which we purchased new in 2008. Visitors to the gallery can expect to see new work being created all the time by our gallery artists.

In addition to Gravure Gallery, Don Gorvett operates a printmaking studio in the Beacon Marine basin, located in East Gloucester. The Beacon Studio houses an American French Tool press with a 32"x 48" bed. Click the "studio" button on the top of this page, or go here to learn more.
