ART! South County Art Association – Earthworks

South County Art Association’s mission is to promote greater public participation in the arts in our Rhode Island community. We do this by encouraging the creation, visibility, and appreciation of artwork through membership, quality education, juried and organized exhibitions and shared artistic experiences. They are a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit arts organization.

If you’ve driven a zillion times and never been inside SCAA, there’s every reason to do so this summer.

You can learn all about their programs, classes you can take, and exhibits to peruse.
