South Shore Art Center
About
South Shore Art Center is a community visual arts center in Cohasset offering exhibitions, hands-on classes and events for people of all ages. It runs 120 classes a year, from foundational art classes to new opportunities in different and emerging media, with adult courses open to students 15 and older and separate programs for children and young adults. Visiting artists lead workshops in areas such as pastel, printmaking, mixed media, needle felting and painting from observation.
The center installs 18 exhibitions a year across three on-site galleries, each vetted through a review process run by its Exhibitions Committee. It also holds juried national exhibitions that invite artists to submit work on a set theme, with cash prizes and awards of merit. Community events have included a Halloween sale of previous gallery artwork and studio supplies, paired with family activities such as face painting, crafts and classic kids’ movies.
