Community Art Exhibition at Endicott College
Don't forget to save the date for the Arts Fest Beverly 2022 Community Art Exhibition! Head to Endicott College's Walter J. Manninen Center for the Arts on Thursday, June 16 from 5-7pm for a classy reception featuring the work of a variety of local artists. This reception is free and open to the public, and serves as the celebratory kickoff for Arts Fest. Our wonderful hosts are sure to make it a night to remember! You may even see some of these artists at the festival two days later, including our featured artist Michael Miller. Be sure to stop by his booth at Arts Fest to see more of his gorgeous photographs. The exhibition at Endicott will be available to view until Monday, August 1.

Regrettable New Hire: Anders
Hey everyone, I’m Anders! I’m a student at an international school in Germany, but I’ve got Essex County in my blood and am back this summer with a vengeance. I’ll be interning with Beverly Main Streets for the next few months: hitting refresh on Outlook every 30 seconds, scream-crying at the copy machine, and scrubbing the floor with a toothbrush. All jokes aside, Beverly is a really cool and lively city and I’m gonna do what I can to help people get to know it better. Peace.
Get Amped for Summer Camp!
Summer is here, and with it a ton of new ways to get your kids out of your hair and learning something for a few hours. Montserrat College of Art is offering creative and fun courses for aspiring artists ages 8-15. For young Spielbergs ages 11-13, The Cabot is teaching the ropes of film-making. Get your child on the pottery wheel early at Clay Dreaming (ages 7+). Does your house feel a little lifeless? Put your child to work creating beautiful and functional decorative pieces at Hammer and Stain (7+), or introduce them to the joy of cooking at Taste Buds Kitchen (all ages).
