Shoreline Arts Alliance is the Arts Council for 24 communities* along the shoreline. For nearly 40 years, Shoreline Arts Alliance has enriched Connecticut’s cultural landscape through programs, arts advocacy and mission to Transform Lives through the Arts. Through our programs we have supported Arts Education in our schools, supported and mentored young artists to successful and fulfilling lives and careers, offered statewide juried competitions for all types of art and have sponsored and produced performances. Now, in the Covid pandemic era we have successfully evolved to meet the needs of our members, participants and beneficiaries in these challenging times. We have established and co-chair with Yale School of Public Health, a series of weekly on-line webinars entitled “Reopening CT Arts Venues: Science based safety” which is have attracted a national audience of nearly 10,000 people. We have also successfully converted our programs to the virtual world and increased participation while maintaining our student scholarship and mentoring programs which are all the more important in these times. *The 24 communities are: Branford, Chester, Clinton, Cromwell, Deep River, Durham, East Haddam, East Hampton, East Haven, East Lyme, Essex, Guilford, Haddam, Killingworth, Lyme, Madison, Middlefield, Middletown, North Branford, Old Lyme, Old Saybrook, Portland, Salem, Westbrook
