The historic Ellis House (masthead) is home of the Scituate Arts Association as well as host of classes and artist studios.

The Ellis House is a grand old home with spacious rooms and lovely surroundings conducive to creative pursuits. Funds are provided for the site by revenue from the many artists’ studios, art classes, workshops, sales, membership fees, and donations for the purposes of restoration of this grand historic classic

The Scituate Arts Association is proud to have its own unique Gallery on Front Street in Scituate.

The Scituate Arts Association is a non-profit organization governed by a Board of Directors staffed by volunteers. For over 45 years, we have been an active, integral part of Scituate initiating countless programs that weave the art of life into the life of our community.

The SAA has linked with the Scituate Library Foundation and the Scituate Council on Aging by offering classes and events at community locations. We continue to make an artistic impression on teens, coordinating events with Scituate High School and awarding an annual scholarship to a deserving senior who shows a promising future in art.
