Grace & Diggs

Grace & Diggs Artistic headpieces, installations, backdrops for commission + rental plus murals + consulting All work is created out of recycled materials.

Headpieces created by Grace & Diggs are explorations of both contemporary and age-old themes with sustainability holding a key place in the creative process. The availability and character of these materials is allowed to drive the design technique and ultimately shapes the finished product. Grace & Diggs welcomes opportunities to create one-of-a-kind wearable art pieces for those with statements

to make! We also welcome opportunities to collaborate with photographers, event planners, fashion designers, costume creators, and more. Reach out to us about hand-crafted environments for photo shoots and selfie booths through Messenger or our website, www.graceanddiggs.com. Currently, Grace & Diggs has an online presence only but looks forward to being able to do pop-ups and photo booths again soon.

It was a such a delight coordinating the 2026 Community Art Project for Salem Arts Festival for a special year - Salem’s 400th birthday. Salem High School Students built the letters and then we asked various community groups to decorate each one. As a celebration of all the colorful and whimsical people found here in Salem, we named the project, “Character of Salem.” I am grateful for the people in my community. They are instigators, collaborators, friends. I am blessed and grateful.

Some specific thanks:
Salem Main Streets and Creative Collective for pulling off an amazing arts festival - this event is a huge part of what makes Salem special. John & team, Kylie, Elise you guys are phenomenal people. I am constantly amazed by you.

Thank you also to project sponsors who made this project possible! Salem Cultural Council, The Witchery, The Phoenix School, Marblehead Bank - it means so much for artists like me to have the resources to do art. Thank you for showing your faith in us through your dollars, which make these projects possible.

The Salem Main Streets Community Art Project has been a favorite project for several years now & it is time for it once again. Nothing says, “spring”’like this does!

This year’s project, dreamed up by SMS Arts Festival Committee almost a year ago (with further development by Elise & me), is a celebration of Salem’s 400th birthday. It is also a big shout-out to the cast of colorful characters one is likely to find here in Salem. We were inspired by the furred & feathered characters on Sesame Street & The Muppets and the early lessons they taught about diversity & kindness. After all, aren’t we all just a bunch of wild & furry muppets?

We asked Salem High CTE Department to build giant letters spelling out “SALEM 400+” and then asked different community groups to texturize the letters with different materials & colours. We wanted lots of hands from a wide variety of demographics to work on these. It is such a joy to watch this come together! Keep an eye out for the letters being wheeled around town and come see the finished product at Salem Arts Festival!

So many people care enough to make community art happen and we are grateful. Here are notes about them:

Salem Arts Festival is organized by and . The project is funded by a grant from the Salem Cultural Council with support from The Marblehead Bank. The letters were constructed by Salem High School Career & Technical Education students. Community groups who are adding texture & colour include The Phoenix School, Salem High School Arts Honor Society, Brookhouse Home , North Shore CDC Youth Build students, , Erin Survilas .artist , North Shore Glass School, , and Gallows Hill Artists Studios . We appreciate you all so much and can’t wait to see the finished product at 2026 Salem Arts Festival!
