Rockland arts and culture is exploding with activities, events, programs, and opportunities for all to enjoy. It's not just the artists at the Sandpaper Factory and The Wright Building who contribute to the creative vibe in town. Rockland Public Schools, Rockland Recreation, First Congregational Church, Channing Church, Rockland Memorial Library, Friends of Rockland Memorial Library, Rockland Markets, WRPS, Rockland Cultural Council, and the Town of Rockland add to the cultural experience with their programming and support for all art mediums. Plus, local businesses including the Piano Mill, MacMurray Designs, Marie Little Austin School of Dance, and Sing, Explore, Create are valuable resources for learning and engagement. The Holiday Stroll, Rockland Day, and Rockland Markets Fall Festival are the town's seasonal celebrations which include performers, artists, and crafters. Feel fortunate to be living in a vibrant community!
