MARION — Sippican Elementary School celebrated the creative abilities of its students during the 2026 Arts-in-Action event held on Wednesday evening, with hundreds of pieces of artwork on display and more than 20 live musical performances.
Guests viewed a wide range of artworks made by students throughout the school year, including watercolor paintings and plaster masks, and they also participated in live hands-on art demonstrations, such as the construction of origami animals.
The event was made possible by volunteers from the Music Department, the Art Department, and VASE (Volunteers At Sippican Elementary), along with parent volunteers, the Sippican Scoop, and high schoolers from Old Rochester Regional High School.
Food was served in the Music Cafe throughout the event, while a lineup of student music performances was staged in the area, with proceeds supporting Sippican arts programs. In addition to individual students singing karaoke, doing dance routines or playing instruments, the event features performances by the Monday Jazz Band and the Tuesday Jazz Band, along with the Concert Choir and many individual performances.
Superintendent Michael S. Nelson, Principal Lynn Dessert and Assistant Principal Gregory Thomas thanked all of the students, families, teachers and volunteers who supported the annual Arts-in-Action event.
“The artwork that was on display this year was really impressive,” said Assistant Principal Thomas. “Thank you to our staff and volunteers who ensured this event went on as planned. Congratulations to all of our students who contributed their works of art for display during this wonderful event.”
“It’s always a joy to see so many works of art created by our students. We have so much incredible talent at Sippican Elementary School,” said Principal Dessert. “Thank you to all the teachers, staff and volunteers who make this event possible.”
“Arts-in-Action is an event we always look forward to,” said Superintendent Nelson. “This is our next generation of artists on display. Kudos to our students, their families and to the teachers and staff who provide such incredible arts programs here in our district.”
