Like many art-focused organizations, we are currently faced with navigating the challenges of across-the-board cost increases that directly impact our budget. To help us continue offering the quality programs and experiences you cherish, the SAQA board of directors has decided to raise membership dues $20 for all membership types. This decision was made with careful thought, and we recognize that any change in cost can directly affect your pocketbook.
This change will take effect on September 1, 2024 and will apply to future renewals (members will not be charged the difference until they join or renew.)
It is our desire to continue being the organization that offers you access to world-class art, exceptional learning opportunities from leading artists, and a passionate fiber community. For 35 years SAQA has been the place where you can:
- grow as an artist through the variety of on-line resources and development programs.
- have access to webinars, Special Interest Groups, mentorship programs, and curator opportunities.
- have the opportunity to participate in regional, national, or global art quilt exhibitions.
- be part of an exclusive online community of artists and art professionals around the world.
- have the opportunity to attend and network with others through online and in-person conferences.
- find camaraderie, support, and inspiration through a group within your region.
Thank you. Your support is deeply valued and essential to everything we do.
