Gloucester Student Arts Festival

Arts Fest is an annual celebration of the arts in the Gloucester Public Schools, a day to enjoy creativity, connection, and celebrating our students’ talents as a Gloucester community. It is led by the Gloucester Education Foundation in partnership with the Gloucester Public Schools, Cape Ann Museum (CAM), and a host of local arts and cultural partners.

With both Sawyer Free Library and CAM currently under renovation, we’ve moved the festival to a new site for 2025. O’Maley will be the main venue, with PK-12 artwork on display, performances from theater, band, recorder, and chorus; food vendors; and over a dozen art-making activities. A free shuttle will take festival-goers to nearby CAM Green to see additional student artwork and to participate in more art-making activities.

This all-ages event will be a destination for families, community members, artists and visitors. Join us for a day of joyful creativity and art!
