NEW IN THE CENTER
The Gift of a Letter 
Picture
Linda Steele’s metal-mesh sculpture of a letter holder will be on display at SAA for the month of January beside a table with papers, pens, and writing prompts. She invites you to come into the center, sit down, and write a letter to someone about the boardwalk. You might write a note to your grandchildren or even to the boardwalk itself. There will be a bulletin board on which you will hang your letter. Some of these letters might even make it into our coffee table book The Sandwich Boardwalk.

Linda teaches Finding the Writer Within at SAA where she is a member of Visual and Literary.  She creates mixed-media collages, sculptures, and nature photography.  Her books Meet Me in My Cape Cod Kitchen: Recipes for Seaside Living, Finding the Writer Within, and Tending the Marsh:Poems are on the bookshelves at SAA.
​THE SANDWICH BOARDWALK BOOK
The Sandwich Arts Alliance is hard at work creating a new coffee table book! The Sandwich Boardwalk, due out May, 2023, celebrates that beloved landmark. Included will be customizable images of boardwalk 'planks' that can be purchased and dedicated to someone special. LEARN MORE about how YOU can be part of this special project and support the SAA.
