Developed by artists and educators Dawn Southworth and Dana Salvo, Annisquam Arts begins its 18th season offering an exciting array of workshops to inspire your child’s imagination. Conducted at the open and generous facilities and magical playground of the Plum Cove School, we are just a short walk to Plum Cove Beach, Lanes Cove, and the Annisquam River. The Photography Workshops are based out of Dawn’s Home Studio, located on Goose Cove. Please see the registration form for details.
