The Saugatuck Center for the Arts is West Michigan’s lakeshore destination for experiencing the joy of professional theater and music, life-changing education for children and adults, and substantive dialogue. We are a community asset, a collaborative partner, and are deeply committed to building a stronger, more vibrant regional arts & cultural landscape. Nestled along the lakeshore our  gallery space provides a unique hub for impactful conversations, outreach, classes and film.

The Saugatuck Center for the Arts curates and hosts art exhibitions of significant community value, designed to provoke thought, broaden understanding of the world and spark curiosity and imagination. Emerging and established artists of regional and national recognition exhibit their work in our gallery.

The SCA displays a variety of exhibitions representing both traditional and innovative techniques, media, and content, with the intent of appealing to diverse audiences. As a non-profit art center, our gallery is educationally driven.

Our exhibition programming is designed to be meaningful to viewers of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. The SCA is committed to deepening the understanding of the visual arts through parallel educational programming associated with our exhibits via gallery tours, artist conversations, student outreach, film, workshops, classes, gallery text and exhibit brochures.

Upcoming Exhibit

Luminescence

October 18 – December 22

An interactive light-infused exhibit that prompts passive viewers to become active participants, redefining the typical gallery viewer-viewed relationship by creating a responsive, hands-on experience.

This show is comprised of the amazing light-infused artwork of artists Simon Alexander-Adams, Patrick Ethen, and Cuppetelli and Mendoza, shown in tandem with the massive building-spanning installation, Playful Spaces, by Jeremy Barnett and Jason Maracani. By exhibiting the intersection of Art, Electrical Engineering, and Science, Luminescence offers our West MI community a uniquely transformative experience by showcasing work that expands our view of how we define art.
