The South Bay Art Association was founded in 1956 to
encourage the creation and appreciation of the visual arts. Their
activities include monthly meetings with demonstrations, lectures,
critiques, morning sketch groups, workshops in various media, exhibits,
newsletters, and many other events. Many of the events are geared toward
raising funds for the Scholarship Fund.
Anyone with a genuine interest in the visual arts is invited to join our
Association. Dues are $25.00 a year for individuals, $35.00 for a family
of two, and $20.00 for non-exhibiting individuals.
