Mission
Founded in 1955, South Shore Art Center’s mission is to enrich communities south of Boston by engaging artists and by fostering an understanding and appreciation of the visual arts through exhibitions and education. For over 70 years we have worked tirelessly to meet this mission by offering opportunities for individuals – of all ages, income, abilities – to make, learn, present and view visual art. Our comprehensive approach includes studio arts learning, art apprenticeships for teens, exhibitions and free community programming in our galleries and at partner organizations. More than 1,000 members strong, our geographic reach extends to 45 communities south of Boston.
