The visitors who have been hanging out around Gloucester all summer are getting ready to head home. đź‘‹

Seward Johnson’s sculptures have been part of the landscape since June, popping up in familiar places and occasionally making us do a double take.

They leave October 5, so this is your last weekend to see all seven before they go.

How many have you found?

🎨💙 Why We Do This

The arts bring people together and help define who we are as a community.

Supporting the arts isn’t just what we do.
It’s why we do it. 💙
