THE ART OF PRINTMAKING
Printmaking is an artistic process of making multiple images from an original design. The process is very spontaneous and the unpredictability that happens when pulling a print is what makes the process so special. This spring we are offering four classes that concentrate on different techniques in our renovated printmaking studio. You can find a description about printmaking from two of our instructors here. Click here for classes.

SCAA RECEIVES GRANTS FROM STATE OF RHODE ISLAND

L to R: Randall Rosenbaum, RISCA, Executive Director, Kathleen Carland, SCAA Executive Director, Kris Greco, Treasurer, Jeanne Wettlaufer, President and Teresa Tanzi, RI State Representative

 The State  of Rhode Island Announced $4.6 million in Capital Grants for Arts, Culture, Heritage, and Public Historic Sites to 38 Recipients from 14 Cities and Towns on January 10, 2018  at the  Newport Art Museum.  These grants were awarded by the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts and the Rhode Island Historical & Preservation Commission

South County Art Association is the grant recipient from both the Rhode Island Historic Preservation and Heritage Commission and a RISCA Rhode Island Cultural Facilities grant which total  $23,682.  These funds will enable SCAA to complete exterior painting, renovate our gift shop, office and kitchen, complete window restoration and improve signage.  These improvements set the stage for more community engagement and support for Rhode Island artists!

Please donate today to our Annual Appeal

Please consider donating to
our Annual Appeal as we enter our 90th year. Your donation helps
us match grant funds and make surethat the work on our buildings
is more preservation than restoration, which can become 
even more costly.

Our Arts Education Programs, Exhibits and Community Enrichment
all benefit from your contribution. 
You may donate one time or in monthly installments.Thank you!
We are a 501c3 nonprofit and all donations
are tax-deductible.
