Sea bathing, like taking “the waters”, may go out of style, but Seaside, like Bath, will continue to be fashionable because it has a rich cultural and educational life.
What makes Seaside a better place to live? How can Seaside and other communities be refined and improved upon? The Seaside Institute studies and finds answers to these two dynamic questions. Through its forums and conferences on architecture, planning and urban affairs, The Institute is a resource for anyone interested in making communities better. Each year, the Fellows and Board of Governors and Directors of The Seaside Institute award the Seaside Prize to recognize individuals or organizations that have made significant contributions to the quality and character of our communities.
The cultural heart of Seaside, The Institute makes life better in Seaside by sponsoring world-class art events of all kinds for Seaside's residents and visitors. To find out more about The Seaside Institute, its purposes, programs and membership, click on the link below.
