learn more about our members in our monthly member spotlight interviews.
I have been involved with many associations over the years and I have to say that SCAA is the best. The administrative staff are professional, intelligent, and compassionate. The group flows freely focused on a mutual goal. They are extremely organized and motivated. I always feel welcome there, it was the first place I saw my work in an actual gallery, it will always have my heart.
