Celebrating the Upper Cape’s Creative Side

Cape Cod is known for its beaches and seafood, but it’s also home to a thriving arts and culture community. From painters and potters to theaters and museums, the Upper Cape showcases the creativity and history that make this region truly unique.

Upper Cape Artists

The Upper Cape is filled with local talent. Artists like Mindy and Ron Resenover capture Cape Cod’s landscapes and seascapes through painting, sculpture, and mixed media. Many galleries across Falmouth, Mashpee, Sandwich, and Bourne feature local Cape Cod artists whose work reflects the spirit of coastal living.

Cultural Centers & Museums

Cape Cod’s cultural institutions provide both inspiration and education:

• Falmouth Art Center – rotating exhibits, classes, and workshops.
• Cotuit Center for the Arts – theater, music, and visual arts all under one roof.
• Sandwich Glass Museum – celebrating Cape Cod’s historic glassmaking heritage.

These venues give locals and visitors alike a chance to experience the rich culture of the Cape.

Seasonal Shows & Fairs

No matter the season, Cape Cod celebrates its creative community:

• Summer art festivals bring together regional artists.
• Fall craft fairs highlight handmade goods and coastal-inspired designs.
• Holiday markets feature gifts from local makers and artisans.

These events make it easy to discover one-of-a-kind pieces while supporting local talent.
