Save the weekend of June 11th & 12th to celebrate “Arts Alive” with the Scituate Arts Association!  This is the 16th year that the SAA, a Scituate based nonprofit arts association which supports the Front Street Gallery, the Ellis House Studio and provides art classes, workshops and educational opportunities for the community at large, has offered this event. Activities include Plein Air [Open Air] painting around Scituate Harbor, a Wet Paint Show, and this year, we will be offering a plein air pop up tent with kits for children and their families to use and enjoy throughout the summer.  All artists, amateur and professional, youth to seniors, are invited to participate!

For Children and Families:  The SAA will be offering a selection of art kits for both elementary and middle school for a modest donation ($5). We will be setting up our tent at the Harbor Community Building Parking lot on Sunday June 12th from Noon to 3.
