Our Mission
Since 1989 the Santa Clarita Artists Association has supported and encouraged local artists to create, share and grow their skills as visual artists. Today we have 150 local artist members at all skill levels from the novice to the professional. Many of our members exhibit their art in Santa Clarita and throughout California.
SCAA serves the Santa Clarita community in several ways. In our monthly general meeting, professional artists give art demonstrations in oil, pastels, watercolor and other media. Our meetings are open to the public and are a great way to learn about the creative process. In addition, every fall SCAA hosts the Art Classic and Gala which is both an art competition and fundraiser for our scholarship program. Each May, SCAA awards 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place scholarships to talented high school seniors in the Santa Clarita Valley who are pursuing a career in art.
The SCAA Gallery, on 6th Street, is the home of the Santa Clarita Artist Association and is a hidden gem in the heart of Newhall. In our Gallery, art is on view throughout the year that highlights our members in a variety of media. In addition to the 6th Street Gallery, SCAA artists work can be seen at the Canyon Theater Guild, City Hall, the Old Town Newhall Library, and other venues around town. On behalf of all our SCAA members we hope you will become an member or patron and supports the arts in the Santa Clarita.
