Committee on Art, Culture & Science

The residents of South Waterfront have formed a committee to enhance the neighborhood with art, culture, and science. The group is focused on sponsoring performances, workshops and lectures. The committee also invites residents to an art exchange, to find new uses for their decorative objects---one more way to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Other activities include wine and cheese tasting and art installations.

Residents and interested parties are encouraged to join the committee. Contact Program Manager of Community Relations Heather Bayles at Heather@southwaterfront.com for more information.
