Central Square came ALIVE this Art Week. 🎨RAW Art Works' Block Party turned downtown Lynn into one big celebration — art-making, music, dancing, and a building-wide installation that had to be seen to be believed.

But the real stars? The youth artists. This year's Block Party was bigger than ever, and watching the Class of 2026 take a bow surrounded by their whole community… that's Lynn at its best.
Hats off to Raw Art Works and every young artist who poured into this. 💛

300+ young voices. One unforgettable night.

BLOOM just happened, and it delivered on every bit of what that name promises. Express Yourself and the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health brought 300+ youth to the stage, performing alongside Ricky Duran (The Voice), The Pack Drumline, STOMP, Boston Children's Chorus, and Lilly Pulitzer print artist Melissa Sixma Lingo.

This is what creative freedom looks like when young people are actually given the room to use it!

Three North Shore restaurants are on our heavy rotation right now. Each is worth the drive.

Peabody: La Frontera Sabrosa (@lafronterasabrosa) is a family-run scratch kitchen, the kind that earns the repeat visit before dinner's over.

Beverly: The Castle (@thecastlebeverly) is a historic estate doing dinner like an occasion. The night you make something of.

Rowley: Briar Barn Inn (@briarbarninn) is the owner of Grove (@groverowley). It's a white barn with post-and-beam construction and a menu featuring the best seasonal ingredients from local farms.

All three are Creative Collective members, independent businesses and makers across Essex County. More places to eat live in our weekly newsletter and directory at creativecollectivema.com.

Ever wonder where Salem's artists actually *make* their work? 🎨

This Saturday, you can walk right in and see for yourself.

Gallows Hill Artists opens its doors on May 30 — 30 resident artists, working studios, gallery exhibitions, and an art market all inside a historic former tannery that survived the Great Salem Fire of 1914.

It's free, it's open to everyone, and it runs 11 AM–6 PM at 16 Proctor Street.

Tour the studios. Talk to the makers. Buy something that was literally created down the hall.

If you spend any real time on the North Shore, you start collecting artists around the area. These are three worth knowing right now.

Karen Hallion is a pop culture meets fine art illustrator out of Swampscott. Her work can be described as Star Wars meets Studio Ghibli meets your living room wall.

Erin Survilas is an oil painter out of Salem. Her feminist oil paintings are about softness, self-care, and the body. Work that asks you to slow down.

Greg Coles is a former Alvin Ailey dancer and teaches African and Latin dance across the North Shore from Salem. Catch a class, catch a performance.

All three are part of the Creative Collective — small businesses and makers across Essex County. For more, check out our directory and creativecollectivema.com to find members and events in your area. The link is in our bio!

There’s a side of Salem that doesn’t get nearly enough love — and it shows up every June. ✨

The Salem Arts Festival is back for three free, family-friendly days:

🎨 Friday, June 5 — Kickoff at historic Old Town Hall, 5:30–8:30 PM

🎭 Saturday, June 6 — All day throughout downtown, 11 AM–7 PM

🖼️ Sunday, June 7 — All day throughout downtown, 11 AM–6 PM

Juried gallery, live mural slam, artisan market, performance stages, and a whole weekend of local artists, makers, and musicians taking over the city.

While you’re here, make a weekend of it — wander the local shops, grab a bite at our restaurants, and explore the historic sites that make Salem, Salem. There’s a lot to fall in love with.
If you’ve never made the trip — this is your year. If you have, you already know.

Title Sponsor: @jennistuartjewelry
Festival Partner: @peabodyessex
Produced by @salemmainstreets and @creativecollectivema
