This year, Gloucester Public Schools and the Gloucester Education Foundation are celebrating creativity with “Spring into the Arts”, a three-month festival showcasing concerts, plays, exhibitions, and showcases in schools and throughout the city of Gloucester. Here’s what’s coming up for the month of April.
April 10-12: The National Art Honour Society will open the Cove Gallery for a three-day exhibit to display pieces of spectacular art. The art will contain pottery, photographs, drawings, paintings, and prints, all from the Gloucester High School NAHS.
Award-winning Mylee Towne’s original drawings and prints, and Elizabeth Cameila’s pottery and paintings, will all be exhibited and are definitely must-sees.
April 9-11: Multiple plays are going to be performed this month, but don’t miss Gloucester High School’s Spring Musical “Rock of Ages.”
“We have a good group.” Scarlet Berge, playing the lead in the “Rock of Ages” play, said, “The show itself is really high energy, and the music is such an integrated part of the show with the band on stage with us.”
April 11: Alexandra Grace Music Studio will be showcasing O’Maley Middle School musicians at MAGMA.
April 13-14: Over at Plum Cove Elementary School, the Spring Musical, “Beauty and the Beast,” will be performed for the town to enjoy.
April 14: O’Maley Middle School Band and Chorus Spring Concert.
April 15: Attend the Endicott Jazz Fest featuring the GHS Jazz Band.
April 21: Colors will be flying, so join us at the watercolor workshop at the Sawyer Free Library in its newly renovated building for a creative time.
April 25: The community is going to come together at the Earth Day Recycling Festival with Brassfed Nation and Art Haven at O’Maley Middle School.
April 29: As we near the end of the month, the Gloucester High School Jazz Band will take up instruments and perform a concert at Shalin Liu Performance Center.
