Uncommon Art on the Common
Thursday, June 13 | 6:00-10:00pm
Under the Tents | Cohasset Common
Join South Shore Art Center on Thursday, June 13 for our annual Festival Preview Gala. Titled LIKE NEWBURY’S BUSINESS: Uncommon Art on the Common, this event will feature a cutting-edge exhibition, curated in partnership with Newbury Street’s Pellas Gallery, of contemporary and emerging artists – all local, and all artists who are part of changing the creative landscape in Boston and beyond. Come and explore the one-night-only installation and meet artists Xiaowei Chen, Percy Fontini-Wright, Tim Gianelli, Imagine, Masha Keryan, Timmy Sneaks, and Slime Sunday.
LIKE NEWBURY’S BUSINESS will deliver on its name by bringing stylish sensibilities to the typical fundraiser. Enjoy a delicious tasting menu from the best restaurants south of Boston, an open bar, and cool vibes provided by DJ Melissa followed by a live set from the Smoking Jackets. But the evening’s centerpiece will of course be the uncommon art from local, emerging artists under SSAC tents, right here on Cohasset Common.
LIKE NEWBURY’S BUSINESS kicks off South Shore Art Center’s 69th annual Arts Festival, which officially opens on Friday, June 14 and runs through Sunday, June 16. Welcoming over 20,000 attendees, Festival boasts an “art village” of juried craft artists, outstanding music and food, a family-friendly beer tent, 400+ pieces of contemporary art in the outdoor tents and in Art Center galleries, and creative activities in the KidsTent. This do-not-miss event heralds in summer with an explosion of art!
