April 24 - June 5
Welcome to Primavera – Plymouth’s Springtime Celebration of the Arts. This joyful gathering brings people together to pay tribute to spring’s renewal and to experience the vibrancy of the arts.
About Primavera
Primavera is anchored by a Juried Art Exhibition that showcases a wide range of artistic works – painting, photography, mixed media, sculpture, digital work, and more – by local and regional artists.
Works by adult artists selected for Primavera’s juried exhibition will be on display in the Plymouth Community Center Art Gallery beginning April 24 and will remain on display for public viewing through June 5, 2026. Gallery hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
Artwork by local high school students will be on display during opening weekend, April 24-26. In addition, see the Schedule of Events for a full listing of weekend events featuring music, dance, artist talk, and art activities.
Please join us as we gather, imagine, and celebrate the power of artistic expression and honor the creativity that enriches the Plymouth community.
Primavera is brought to you by the City of Plymouth and the Plymouth Arts Council.
