As part of the Gloucester Education Foundation and Gloucester Public Schools’ 2026 “Spring into the Arts”, preschool and K-5 artwork is now on display at the Sawyer Free Library. The work will be up in the Matz Gallery and on the second floor through May 14, when the public is invited to a reception from 5-7pm at the library. On May 15, middle and high school work will go up in the Matz Gallery and be on display until May 29. Don’t miss this special exhibition of Gloucester student artists and their creativity, skill, and imagination! Kudos to GPS arts teachers and their partners for the spectacular work they have helped students create this school year.
Stock your garden with beautiful vegetable seedlings at Backyard Growers’ annual Community Seedling Sale. All seedlings are grown by our friends at Cedar Rock Gardens in West Gloucester. Proceeds support Backyard Growers’ work cultivating equitable access to the resources, space & knowledge people need to grow their own food in our community.
Plus, this year’s event will feature an early season pop-up Backyard Growcery, downtown Gloucester’s farmers market. In addition to seedlings, attendees can shop fresh, high-quality produce from local farmers, enjoy prepared foods and live music, join kids’ activities, enter exciting raffles, and celebrate growing food together in community.
Vendors include:
Milky Way Apothecary’s medicinal plants

See you at Burnham’s!
We’ve been wanting to get to Market St in Ipswich to try Zabagliones so off we went on a recent weekday night. When we entered shortly after their opening at 5 PM, we were the only customers but by the time we left, several other tables had joined us. Clearly pretty popular for a weekday dinner. Bread and oil were delivered, specials were shared and we consulted the menu. I ordered Chicken Braccioletini and Jim ordered spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs were homemade and quite large. Enough was leftover to take home but I scarfed mine right up. The atmosphere is relaxing, the location is easy and the service was great. We enjoyed our experience very much and will definitely return sooner than later. More info at this link.

Surrendering to his effortless curiosity and the pleasures of true admiration, artistic possibilities are infinite for David Cox. And so, no matter the subject–people, nature, sports, art–David Cox renders great portraits in color, composition, grandeur and joy.
Held at Seacoast in Gloucester, MA., this two day David Cox exhibition/reception grew out of available printed and framed inventory at Main Street Antiques, spanning decades of engagement with his unmistakable eye. You can find more of David’s work at Main Street Antiques, Cape Ann Giclee, and one day soon a substantial selection from his archive heading to Cape Ann Museum with a future show and more planned there.

Spring time in Gloucester! Whales are visible from the shore in April and May. This year, multiple reports of sightings occurred on April 19th (morning and night) and May 2nd, 2026 (before 9AM). The whales can be difficult to spot and ID. Some species journey past, fast. Others may criss cross back and forth between Good Harbor Beach and Twin Lights, in a generalized area for hours or even all day. So, if you missed a sighting, keep your eyes open. Meanwhile, Common Eiders are busy spring mating and it’s a great year for forsythia.
Right whales were close in 2018.
We took a ride around dusk recently and observed a variety of springtime wildlife behavior in the area meadows including 2 different coyotes and a pair of deer doing what wildlife does in spring. It was a good reminder to be cautious driving at dusk.
