Out for a walk along the boardwalk and harbor in Hyannis will find you among the most amazing little buildings, respectfully called Artist Shanties. These special little shanties are colorfully painted as they sit dormant in the early morning, but as the doors begin to open the creativity comes flowing out. Each of the shanties are occupied by a local artist from the Cape. The concept behind the Hyannis HyArts Artist Shanties was to provide affordable accommodations for the artists in the area to display and sell their art. We are excited to work with one of the Artists, Tara Ring.
Tara is one of our favorite Makers and is one of the lucky ones to reside in one of these little spots occupying this sweet little yellow building #5 and we are excited to play a very small party in this amazing place. Tara places her creativity our pillows, bags and wine totes. Her sense of humor, classic depiction of the local icons and simple relaxed style, maker her shanty welcoming and her products endearing. Tara offers custom made home decor pieces, as well as a wide selection of her featured designs. We love how we look in Tara’s designs.
Clever sayings, simple, clean designs are featured on these handmade wine totes.
Lively pillows that have something cute to say, tell it like it is or brighten up the place.
This lively boating community was once very focused not the whaling, today the beautiful shores of the Cape are still filled with sea faring boats. They no longer set out to capture the whales, instead they honor them, like Tara’s Whale Silhouette Pillow.
We have had the opportunity to walk through each of these buildings to be amazed with at the craftsmanship, the attention to detail and the love of their native area and heritage. These iconic pieces are a memento of a wonderful trip or a show of support for the area you love. If you are in the area and have the time for a stroll, this creative stop will be well worth each moment. The season just opened so the art is fresh and the artists are ready of the fresh air and sunshine after the harsh winter.
