Sanford Seminole Art Association (SSAA) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) and one of the oldest cultural organizations in Seminole County. We were first organized in 1959 to support and encourage local artists and art education through demonstrations, workshops, and training.
Our monthly meetings run from September through May and include a short business meeting, followed by an art demonstration from a member or guest artist. These sessions also offer the opportunity to socialize and connect with fellow artists while enjoying refreshments. Our members are encouraged to bring examples to share their latest artistic creations for "Show and Tell."
In addition to our monthly meetings, paid membership includes the opportunity to participate in at least four (4) art shows per year at various venues throughout central Florida at no additional cost to you. High school and college art students are welcome to join as members at a discounted rate.
We also organize plein air group outings, educational outreach to the community, and art scholarship opportunities.
We invite you to visit us and meet our artists and members. Please note that you do not have to live in Seminole county to be part of our association. We currently have members who live in Orange, Lake and Volusia counties, as well.
