COURTESY OF THE SCITUATE ARTS ASSOCIATION
The Scituate Arts Association announced 21 award winners at the SAA’s Annual Juried Show.

On April 7, awards totaling over $1,000 were selected. The prizes were made possible by the event’s three business supporters: Janet Cornacchio and Jack Conway, of Scituate, and Coastal Heritage Bank and Frame Center, of Hanover.
The accepted works and award winners were chosen by jurors Michelle Clarke, a Hanover artist and Best in Show winner at the SAA s 2019 Juried Show; Nan Daly, whose memories of growing up along the Hudson and in the Catskills of New York provide much of the imagery of her abstract paintings; and Margaret McWethy, who is an impressionist painter with

HULL - Hull Artists are one step closer to a new arts venue thanks to a $1,466 donation from the Social Service League of Cohasset, a local philanthropic organization.
With the donation, the Hull Artists group, a non-profit, has met its fundraising goal of $22,000 to obtain a matching grant awarded by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
“We can now begin the next step in making our dream of the Nantasket Center for the Arts a reality,” said Bart Blumberg, president of Hull Artists.
The money will go toward converting the long-vacant Department of Conservation and recreation police barracks at 213 Nantasket Ave., into a regional arts center. It allowed the group to move forward with hiring a firm, Fort Point Consulting, to complete a feasibility study to look at what will be involved in the renovation of the state-owned building. The study will begin in February.
