Open Studio Tour Registration
is FULL!

Hello South Coast Artists,

Wow! The Tour is officially full in record time! Congrats to all who registered. We know it’s a bummer if you were looking forward to being on it. Feel free to join the waitlist, found in our Member’s Only section, just in case a space becomes available.

We do encourage you to take advantage of everything else SCA has to offer, specifically our mostly monthly potluck gatherings, as well as our spring invitational show which will be at Gallery X this year, and the holiday show in December, which will be at the Dartmouth Cultural Center. We also have a couple of guest speakers that we’re sure will pique your interest. Tune in to our February zoom gathering this coming Thursday to find out more.

For this February gathering’s guest speaker, we have invited Claudia Fiks to talk. Claudia is an art administrator in Boston with more than 2 decades of experience working in the arts. She is the Founder and Executive Director of the New England Art Center and TAG Gallery in Boston’s SoWa Arts & Design District, she also serves as Executive Director of Newton Open Studios, one of the region’s largest annual art events.

Through exhibitions, talks, and workshops, she is deeply committed to helping artists navigate today’s complex and evolving art landscape with clarity and confidence. She continues: “I’ll share insights on pacing your career, setting boundaries, and choosing opportunities that align with where you truly are, not where you feel pressured to be. We’ll also explore the essential role of community in a field that can feel competitive and isolating, and how dialogue, shared spaces, and meaningful relationships with peers, galleries, and organizations can foster visibility, accountability, and long-term resilience.”
