ArtWeek SouthCoast is a region-wide celebration of art, culture, and community, where creativity shapes connection. Each year, artists, performers, organizations, and venues across the SouthCoast bring neighborhoods to life through performances, workshops, exhibitions, and hands-on experiences. With dozens of events to explore, ArtWeek invites everyone to experience the power of local creativity and the artists who make it possible.
