About Plymouth Center for the Arts
Plymouth Center for the Arts had its beginnings in 1967 as the Plymouth Outdoor Art Show (a.k.a. the Tent Show) on the waterfront in Brewster Gardens. This annual art show quickly became a tremendous success, attracting artists and visitors from all over the region. After 20 years on the waterfront followed by several other locations, the organization opened Plymouth Center for the Arts on North Street in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in the historic Russell Library in July of 2007.
Plymouth Center for the Arts, a nonprofit organization, offers a wide variety of classes and workshops geared toward both young and adult students and special events and performances. Located just steps from Plymouth Rock and Plymouth’s waterfront on historic North Street, the beautifully restored 1902 Russell Library Gallery and 18th century Lindens Building possess uncommonly elegant gallery spaces and diverse work created by regional artists.
