Arts and Culture

The City of Beverly, in collaboration with Beverly Main Streets and Montserrat College of Art, established an Arts and Cultural District downtown.  

We love our artists and their murals!  Below are just some of the murals here in Beverly.  Note:  The "Black Lives Matter" mural is now on display inside the Beverly Public Library, 32 Essex Street, its new, permanent home!  See link for story in The Salem News.  The mural was also spotlighted by Main Street America.
