Originally launched in 2021 as SouthCoast SpringArts, this festival continues in the spirit of ArtWeek MA, the statewide creative celebration presented by the Highland Street Foundation and produced by the Boch Center from 2013–2020. As the first regional continuation of ArtWeek MA, ArtWeek SouthCoast remains one of only two such festivals in the Commonwealth, today expanding into a more inclusive and region-wide celebration than ever before.
A 10-Day Celebration of Local Creativity
ArtWeek SouthCoast — A Regional Festival of Experiences & Expression
This year’s celebration, led by the SouthCoast Community Foundation, will engage returning partners from Fall River, New Bedford, Dartmouth, Marion, Westport, Fairhaven, Mattapoisett, Somerset, and Wareham, while also welcoming new voices, new communities, and new creative leaders from across the Southeastern Massachusetts region.
