Welcome To The
Southcoast Artists Index
Documenting the Legacies of Southcoast Artists
We are building a collaborative digital archive that celebrates the creative spirit of the South Coast of Massachusetts. By capturing the voices, stories, and work of artists who live, have lived, or are deeply connected to this culturally rich region, we aim to preserve its artistic heritage and amplify its ongoing influence.
Celebrate the Stories.
Wear the Legacy.
We’re releasing a special, limited-edition, commemorative t-shirt — a wearable tribute to the first 200 episodes of the South Coast Artists Index Podcast.
This t-shirt isn’t just a keepsake — it’s a way to support the ongoing documentation of the South Coast’s vibrant artistic community. Donate $50* and receive this one-of-a-kind t-shirt as a token of appreciation for your generosity.
The Artists Index
We are building an organic biographical directory of Visual, Performing, Literary, and Culinary Artists from the past to the present who are or were connected to the creative communities of the South Coast of Massachusetts. Their backgrounds, passions, dreams, and accomplishments are documented here.
