20th Annual Open Studio Tour Begins Next Weekend
Welcome back to the South Coast of New England.
This year is extra special as we celebrate the
20th Annual SCA Open Studio Tour!
South Coast Artists is proud of reaching this 20 year milestone because it speaks to the strength of our community of artists and art lovers. Participation in the arts has grown exponentially here along the South Coast. SCA continues to thrive because of the enthusiastic support of talented artists, generous sponsors, and dedicated volunteers. Thousands of volunteer hours enable SCA to provide one of the finest art experiences in New England.
This summer, our special Open Studio Tours happen on the weekends of July 15-16 and August 19-20.
This year we’ve encouraged artists to consider our anniversary theme, Pause for a Moment and Reflect as they prepare for your visit. Some 75 artists ready to show you what they’ve created.
The tour, as always, is a free event designed for the entire family. Studio visits encourage an open dialogue between you and the artist within their personal creative space. We think that connection is the key to developing a meaningful relationship with art, the artist and the creative process.
So, don’t be shy. Be curious and ask questions.
Remember that every studio and gallery is a unique experience. Consider planning a route that takes full advantage of your particular interests. To sketch out your adventure, please consider the CSA mobile app – South Coast Artists.
It’s easily downloaded on your smartphone or tablet. It’s a free app that’s available through the Apple store or on Google Play.
This digital feature allows you to easily navigate from place to place, from artist to artist and from town to town.
Or, if you prefer, you can pick up a brochure from one of our many Sponsor locations and access all of this information, on our website.
As president of SCA, I would like to thank you for taking the time to visit the South Coast and our artist community.
Whether you are new to the area, or a veteran SCA art lover, know that lifelong friendships are created along the trail.
Be prepared for an unforgettable art adventure that you and your family will never forget. We look forward to seeing you.

South Coast Artists President
