For SCAA, we deeply value a strong community, one that promotes unity, hope and artistic acceptance.
In these unprecedented times, it's more important than ever to contribute to the arts if you are able.

Because of You …
The SCAA is thriving as we enter our 95th year. Amid all the challenges of the past two years, your support made all the difference. We can’t thank you enough. In 2020, we were able to make our space more welcoming by opening the gallery windows to allow more natural light and fresh air. This one “small” improvement enabled safer exhibit viewing and classes in the gallery. We staged seven exhibits, including Earthworks and our Members’ Exhibit, held two new outdoor art sales and doubled the sale of members’ art in our gallery and gift shop. In 2021, we returned to our full exhibit schedule and hosting our in-person Great Art Heist, with a record 126 donated artworks and tickets sold. This past year, our 50th Anniversary Holiday Sale proved once again that original art is always in style, tax free, supports artists and doesn’t depend on the supply chain! SCAA continues to adapt to a changing world and we made it this far because of your donations, membership, grants and the Cares Act. With your continued support we envision a bright future ahead. Now, we have big plans for next year. As you know, supporting the arts creates vibrant communities and fosters a more beautiful and accepting world. Your contribution will support our plans to make necessary physical improvements to our studios, create additional capacity for classes and studio memberships, and offer full physical access to our learning spaces – all of which equals more creative opportunities for everyone. Because of You … All of these things (and more) are possible. Please donate so we can sustain and nurture a strong and resilient community, a place where everyone can learn, share, and support one another through art. Thank you. |
