History

Established in 2003.

The Saugatuck Center for the Arts began with the notion that a great arts community should have a robust art center — and that a robust art center could, in turn, help create an even more vibrant community.

Back in 2003, a group of area leaders — with a passion for the arts — coalesced around an abandoned pie factory. Their vision included adaptive reuse of the building (a cool idea that was spot on!) and a programming mix that included a broad array of options for all ages. Ultimately the goal was to become an arts, economic, and social «hub» for the Saugatuck-​Douglas communities and larger West Michigan community.

A decade later the SCA is living into that key idea. We serve up year-​round arts-​and-​cultural opportunities for children and adults from live performances and professional theatre to film and lecture series to exhibitions and classes. And we run a weekly Greenmarket June through October.
