PSAA fosters art instruction, appreciation, and inspiration to its members and the  public.  It engages regionally and nationally recognized artists to conduct classes, workshops and demonstrations in watercolor, oil, pastel and other media.  The schedule for these events appears on this website, in the monthly newsletter and in local newspapers and seasonal brochures. 

Monthly Meetings, normally held the first Monday of the month,  include art demonstrations by recognized artists, followed by refreshments and  an opportunity to meet fellow artists.  Also provided are Art History Lectures held in conjunction with the Stafford Library and Museum Trips to shows with special artistic interest. See Important Dates for additional information.

These  programs,  and the Special Sessions described below,  are open to the public.  See Forms for additional membership, registration and gallery information.
