Who We Are
The South Coast Artists, Inc. is a federally approved 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation encouraging and fostering artistic growth and recognition among Massachusetts and Rhode Island Artists. Through its programming, SCA gives access to the work of visual artists living and working in the townships of Dartmouth and Westport, MA and Tiverton and Little Compton, RI by producing annual open studio tours and related events in the South Coast Region of MA & RI. We provide opportunities to view art made within the community; to interact with local artists; and to have access to artists’ creative working environments; encouraging greater appreciation and participation in the arts throughout the community. This exposure both educates the community and raises awareness of the diverse artistic experience available in the South Coast Region of MA & RI.
