Local Art in Gloucester

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!
