COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: SAAC is an equal opportunity organization. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status, in any of its activities or operations. These activities include, but are not limited to, hiring and firing of staff, selection of volunteers and vendors, operation of programs, and provision of services. We are committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for the public, all members of our staff, volunteers, vendors, and artist communities.
We expect all SAAC & CDAF board members, volunteers, participants, vendors, and grantees to follow the same community-engagement policy.

Are you a potter, painter, photographer... or any other artist interested in exhibiting your works in a one-person show? SHARE YOUR WORK WITH US!
Send us your best work (images you provide must represent the work you wish to submit).
How it works:
- Submit your works online
- Our committee will review your submission and reach out to you when vacancies for Solo Exhibits need to be filled. Art in Public Places exhibits generally last 2 months per show and alternate between group and solo shows, so solo spots are VERY LIMITED annually.
- Response times to your submission will not be immediate and may be months after you have submitted.
- You do not need to withdraw your submission unless you no longer wish to exhibit with us or your work fundamentally changes.
- For all rules and regulations, please visit www.starkvillearts.net/creativeeconomy.
