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.
