2025 Open Studio Tour Informational Zoom Recording

If you missed our zoom meeting last week, we have uploaded a recording of the meeting. We reviewed the registration process and got a look ahead for some of our upcoming events.

Note to Little Compton Residents

One other key factor not mentioned during the meeting: Little Compton 350 Celebration. The town of Little Compton is celebrating 350 years with a parade on Saturday, August 16.

The parade kicks off at 10:00 a.m. starting from the junction of Peckham and West Main Road, continuing to Meetinghouse Lane, then to the Commons, and finishing up at the Richmond’s Field on 59 South of Commons Road.

If your studio is along the parade route, please be advised. We will be finding ways to make note of the parade route on our Tour map and continue to educate the public about the detours. You can consider signing up for only the July weekend, but being open for both weekends may bring an influx of new visitors to your studio. It could be a wonderful opportunity for you!

The Parade will be followed by food trucks, musical performances throughout the day, culminating with a dance featuring music by Mr. Chubb at 7:00PM. They are New England’s premier club & party band; playing their own blend of funk, jazz, country, and R&B from up and down the east coast for over 15 years!

Feeling like you learn better in person?
Join us for the first-ever SCA Meet & Greet!

New this year, we are offering an open informational session Saturday, February 1st from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at the Tiverton Public Library. Open to all current and prospective members.

Have questions about membership? Want to learn more about our upcoming calls for entry? Need help taking images of your artwork? Do you need help renaming/resizing images?

We are happy to review the registration process, help you name/resize your images, and even help you learn how to take photos of your work. All members, current and prospective, are welcome to attend. You are welcome to drop in any time from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at the community room at the Tiverton Public Library. Help will be available in the order you arrive, so please be patient if many members arrive at once. We will do our best to offer individualized help.

Bring your laptop computer, camera, or artwork if you are looking for specific help in any of those areas.

Are you comfortable with all of these tasks yourself? If so, consider coming to the event to help your fellow members! We would love to have you share your knowledge to help others learn. Contact us if you are willing to help!
