South Shore Arts Festival

Since 1956, South Shore Art Center has been hosting Festival. In the earliest days, artists strung their work on clothes lines.

Today, the South Shore Arts Festival features over 90 craft artists and fine artists, consisting mostly of local artists, though some do travel quite a distance to attend!

Live music, food, and handmade art and craft surround the main tent, which is the centerpiece of Festival, featuring artwork created by friends, members, and gallery artists of South Shore Art Center.

Each year thousands of guests arrive on the Cohasset Common to experience the color, life, and vibrancy of a warm, New England festival.
