SCAA [non-profit 501(c)(3)] was founded in 1989 and has a broad range of talent from professional to novice. Members encourage, assist, develop, and exchange ideas/techniques on building artistic skills.
On the third Monday of each month, at 6:30 pm, SCAA hosts a general membership meeting with professional demonstrations at the Barnes & Noble in Valencia. After the demonstration, the evening concludes with a raffle of the demonstration piece or an art piece from the artist. All meetings are free and open to the public and visitors are welcomed. Workshops from well-known artists and marketing professionals are also held 2-3 times each year.
SCAA gallery is located at 22508 6th St. in Newhall (just off Main St. beside the public parking lot near the Canyon Theatre Guild.) It is generally open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. In addition, members display and sell art at many venues throughout the city of Santa Clarita.
