Welcome

Our history

SAG is a non-profit group founded in 1969 and serves the community’s interest in fine arts, fine crafts and photography. We sponsor educational programs, art exhibits, juried shows, classes for adults and children, art scholarships for high school or college students, and local art events. Along with showcasing speakers and monthly meetings, SAG invites everyone in our community to enjoy wide exposure and enjoyment of SAG’s online newsletter, its website, its online member galleries, and links to members’ websites. By joining SAG, local artists can participate in the full range of SAG activities, network with other artists, and help promote and enlarge our service to SAG members and the community at large.
