Mark your calendar for another evening of Cape Ann Plein Air’s Palate to Palette—a celebration where art, great food, and community come together.

Join Cape Ann Plein Air on Thursday, May 28, 2026, from 5–7 PM at Saluti in Gloucester for an inspiring evening with plein air artist Peter Bain. Experience creativity up close as Peter paints live, offering a rare, front-row look at his process. Guests are encouraged to watch, ask questions, and engage with the artist throughout the evening. Check out his work at pbainart.com

Set on historic Main Street, Saluti is Gloucester’s newest wine bar, inspired by the rustic charm of Italy and the vibrant spirit of the North Shore. Enjoy a curated selection of wines alongside a thoughtful tapas menu of small plates, perfect for sharing. With its warm, welcoming atmosphere and lively upstairs event space, Saluti is quickly becoming a hub for local culture and connection.

Raise a glass, enjoy the art, and connect with fellow enthusiasts. This event is perfect for anyone who appreciates art, food, and community.

Reservations are strongly recommended. Visit salutigloucester.com to view the menu and reserve your table.

Stay tuned for more upcoming Palate to Palette events.
