Exhibitions

SSAC installs ~ 40 exhibitions each year at our four onsite galleries, and at satellite exhibition space. Exhibitions are vetted through a rigorous review process by our Exhibition Committee, and include two national juried shows annually, ensuring talent from across the country comes to South Shore Art Center. We host receptions, open to the public and free of charge, to draw audiences and to create opportunities for engaging community dialogue.
