The founding mission of the Narrows Center for the Arts was to promote and develop an appreciation of the visual and the performing arts. Artist studios are one component of our ever-growing and successful cultural arts center.
Over the years several artists have used studio workspace at the Narrows to create their artwork in the company of like-minded artists. An open studio door is a welcome invitation to all the arts enthusiasts who attend live performances and/or visit our galleries to view exhibitions.

Studio Incognito
The Art of Vania Noverca Viveiros
“Art is an expression of oneself and should always be shared with others.”
“As an artist, one is often asked to provide a Biography and an Artist Statement when invited to a Gallery or Show. I truly do understand the intent; but I must admit that I personally feel that in order to know an artist, one must learn who we are through our reflections, and look beyond our shadows! Who, what, when and why, how are we inspired; each and every creation is a mere reflection of all these things collectively.”

Greg Lawton, Photographer
“A captured image; a reflection of not just you but a sense of who you are; the beauty of nature and wildlife; an avenue to lead customers to your product or business; a story told.”

Nancy Cote
Born and raised in Fall River, Massachusetts, Nancy’s childhood memories of apartment living, unkept yards, abandoned chicken coops, lilac bushes, weeds, wildflowers and an overall obsession with nature, all served as an initial source of her endless fascination with sound, color, and image; the beginning of a blossoming love and appreciation of the world.
Nancy was awakened to the joy of creating images and words at an early age and continues to build on her prolific body of work as a painter, author, poet, illustrator and digital artist.
Upon completion of a BFA in painting and receiving the Excellence in Art award from UMassDartmouth, Nancy had her first children’s book published as author/illustrator with Macmillan Publishing and and has since illustrated over forty picture books in addition to nine of her own published stories. Her work has received numerous awards and has been exhibited internationally. She wrote the best seller, Frozen 2 Little Golden Book 2019, Disney/Random House. Her resume includes teaching children’s book illustration in the C.E. Program at Rhode Island School of Design.
