Member Recruitment and Outreach

YOU are a valued member of SAQA. We love hearing your feedback, seeing your art and following your creative process. We're here to help you along. Bet you have friends who would love SAQA as much as you do.

Let them see how our community of artists, our Journal, website, webinars and other resources can help get them to the next level. By expanding the network of supporters, you also help ensure the financial viability of our organization. We want to continue offering traveling exhibitions, publications and make professional development for our members even more rewarding.

Send your friends to www.saqa.com/join to find out more about SAQA. You should carry some SAQA rack cards with you at all times. You never know when you will meet a prospective member!

SAQA is ready to help you with membership brochures, promotional materials or even door prizes for a drawing at your presentation. Just complete our Marketing Request form.

Here are some other ideas:

  • Are you participating in exhibitions?
    Offer to talk about your work and spend 2 minutes introducing listeners to SAQA. They may never have heard of us or the great benefits we can offer. 
  • Do you go to guild meetings?
    Make a presentation with your work or the SAQA Trunk Show and encourage folks to join us.
  • Do you teach workshops?
    You can offer your student a discount on membership for taking your class - contact us at info@saqa.com to find out how.

Below are also some videos that you can share at meetings or via social media.
