About Us at the Southington Community Cultural Arts

Our Mission

Southington Community Cultural Arts (SoCCA) strives to create an environment in which people of all ages and abilities can have a place to create, exhibit and welcome the arts into their lives. We invite all people to engage in cultural and community activities for the purpose of sharing artistic talent and enriching the quality of life in our community.

SoCCA offers a multifaceted art experience including art classes, fine art exhibits, live music and interactive events. Our Artisans’ gift store features hundreds of handmade products crafted by local artists. And if you’re looking for a venue for your meetings, showers, parties and celebrations the Hopko Performance Hall is the perfect room in our unique historic building.
