​Thanks to your generous support last year, we surprised ourselves and others with our resilience and our ability to juggle the ever-changing COVID landscape. And yes, we kept the lights on in our SAA Center and Gallery!
  • We held Zoom classes until it was safe to meet in person for watercolor, oil and drawing classes.  
  • We helped our artists commercialize their work and opened a new Gift Shop in the Gallery. 
  • We expanded our online offerings including a New Member Portal for our members to learn new techniques with over 2,000 YouTube offerings upon launch.
  • We invited more businesses and artists to join The Adirondack Chair Trail, painting Sandwich with color and fun, in the Summer of 2021.
  • We joined the festivities at SandwichFest where we welcomed hundreds of guests who had no idea where we reside (124 RT. 6A) when we’re not out doing our ‘Arts on the Marsh’ or hanging our latest show at Fishermen’s View, the Sandwich Public Library and other sites.
  • Our talented musicians returned to their favorite porches in September to make Porchfest 2021 a rousing success.

With your help again this year, we are planning:

  • A major musical offering with an historical hook that brings our beautiful Town Hall into prominence.
  • More classes for children and the underserved so that everyone can enjoy the benefits of art education.
  • More connections with local businesses to bring art (and more customers) to their locations.
  • A variety of new class content such as jewelry making, using your (new) iPhone to take spectacular pictures, and introduction to fiber arts.
  • More collaboration with other local non-profit organizations to bring art and cultural activities to senior residences, hospitals, and our wonderful new library.
  • A bigger Adirondack Chair Trail with 30 chairs, 30 businesses and 30 artists!
