A Showcase of Creativity: Berwick Academy Arts Celebrates Performance, Music, and More
Visual and performing arts took center stage at Berwick Academy this spring, highlighting the incredible depth of talent across our student body. The community was treated to three spectacular, distinct theatrical and dance performances that demonstrated our students' range, emotional depth, and technical stagecraft.
In the music department, the annual Celebrations of Learning showcased the growth of our ensembles, choirs, and soloists, filling the halls with everything from classical arrangements to modern compositions. Meanwhile, visual arts students unveiled the Pinnacle Art Installation—a breathtaking, collaborative multimedia exhibition that explores themes of identity and community. This striking installation stands as a physical testament to the vibrant, creative spirit fostered within Berwick’s arts curriculum.
As our arts programs continue to flourish, we are excited to welcome Jessica Andrews to our faculty as our new Middle School art teacher. Jess comes to us with terrific experience teaching Middle School art in the Lowell Public School system for the past several years.
Additionally, Jess brings an exciting background in museum curation and makerspaces, having managed summer camps at the world-renowned Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. for the past ten years, alongside her work as a creative DIY educator at the Maryland Science Center in Baltimore.
Jess earned her BFA in Art Education from Virginia Commonwealth University. She and her husband live right down the road in Berwick, and she notes with a smile that she will certainly not miss the daily Berwick-to-Lowell commute!
On the Hilltop, Jess will take over the sixth, seventh, and eighth-grade art classes. Her multidisciplinary expertise will be fully utilized across campus as she also steps into roles as a seventh-grade advisor, leader of our after-school MS Art Team, and key creative support for our seasonal theater productions.
