Gloucester is known as a fishing and whaling hub, but is also known as home to explorers, artists and dreamers for centuries. Featuring more than 60 miles of coastline, there is no shortage of spectacular views to enjoy. There are also vast cultural riches in the form of world-class museums, galleries and dining to explore. Gloucester is also where the Hollywood movie, “The Perfect Storm” was filmed.

The city is well known among artists for the “purity of its light”, and has traditionally been the home of internationally known painters like Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper and sculptors like Walker Hancock. Other cultural gems include the Cape Ann Symphony and the Gloucester Theatre Company. Rockport, another artist colony, is adjacent to Gloucester and together they offer unparalleled opportunities to satisfy your search for your favorite art.

Understanding the value of its healthy working waterfront, Gloucester has sought to protect it by banning all residential development there. However, acknowledging that the fishing industry is changing rapidly, the city plans to further develop controlled tourism, working with the National Park Service on proposals to create an historic industrial fishing park which will feature a working fishing fleet.

The city hopes to use its physical setting and history as a basis for balanced growth and change, without losing those characteristics most loved by its residents.
