There were high hopes that the 2020 ArtWeek agenda was going to make for yet another record-breaking season. But last year, the pandemic forced the regular event to be cancelled.
The Boch Center, producers of ArtWeek, had to find ways to adapt and recover. The Boch Center is a nonprofit organization which, according to their website, is “an innovator and guardian of iconic venues, providing relevant and inclusive performing arts entertainment and cultural educational experiences for the most diverse audiences possible.” Largely supported by the Boch Family, it is under the leadership of Ernie Boch Jr. Locally, the Artweek agenda had been incorporated into the slated calendar of events. If there is a silver lining to the global pandemic, it is that
the creative community of the South Coast has lived up to its reputation and found a way to quell the uncertainty, the upheaval, and the dashed hopes of creative collaborators. Enter SouthCoast Spring Arts, a coalition of “more than two dozen local arts organizations that are launching an innovative celebration of the arts across the South Coast region in May 2021.” The SouthCoast Spring Arts agenda will feature a 10-day festival that focuses on and celebrates the arts in partner communities from Fall River to Wareham.
