Discover Gloucester’s Local Artists
Did you know…
Gloucester, MA is home to the oldest operating artist colony in the country: Rocky Neck! This seaside city also has two active cultural districts, Harbortown and Rocky Neck, with weekly programming, live music, gallery tours, artist demos, performances, and more offered free of charge or at low cost every Thursday during July & August for Culture Splash.
Revered for “the light” credited to our latitudinal position (the same as Paris’s) and reflections of granite in our active working harbor, Cape Ann has long been a destination for artists of all interests and mediums. Plein air painters dot the shore line as part of the area’s summer landscape. But it doesn’t stop at the end of summer; Gloucester is a modern arts hub year-round! Close your art history book and uncover the treasured stories and magnificent works of our active artists and maker communities by exploring our many galleries and studios. Immerse yourself in our local arts scene, past and present, and leave with a piece of local art!
