Call to Artists for SCAA's Virtual Art Classic 2020!

Call to Artists:"2020 Virtual Art Classic - Fine Arts Competition"
Celebrate with us:
Saturday, October 17, 2020 @ 7:00 pm
"Virtual" Zoom Awards Ceremony
  • The 31st SCAA Art Classic will be held on Virtual Zoom Meeting due to the Covid-19 Pandemic Social Distancing requirements. A link will be available for the artists, their family, and friends to join in on the “Virtual” Awards Ceremony being held on Zoom Saturday, October 17, 2020 @ 7:00 pm.
  • The fine art submissions will be professionally adjudicated by two judges. Judges decisions are FINAL.
  • There will be a Best of Show Award, as well as First, Second, and Third place ribbons for each division. Each division will need a minimum of five (5) participants for the three placements. If there are eight (8) or more in a division, then Merit ribbons will also be awarded.
  • Besides being a day to celebrate the work of SCAA fine artists, the Art Classic is normally our main fundraiser of the year that supports our local high school scholarship program. We unfortunately will not be having a Silent or Live Auction this year due to the hardships that individuals and businesses have endured with Covid-19. If you would like to personally donate, or know a business that is able to support, please contact us.
