Artistic Bridges Visiting Artist Program

A collaboration with the Cape Ann Museum, Artistic Bridges is a program that brings local musicians, painters, sculptors, photographers and other practitioners of the arts into Gloucester’s schools to present to students and in some cases, work on projects with them.

Presentations focus on connecting the arts to the school-day curriculum, showing students ways in which art can intersect many aspects of their world.

Students have experienced art to explore their local and family heritage; get a first-hand look at some of the natural resources and historical artistic traditions of Cape Ann; consider the science that is involved with certain forms of art; and looked at history through artistic expression –music, photography and sculpture.
