Is there something new about your work that you

would like to let the world know about?

We want to expand our use of social media and post more frequently.
In addition to posting SRA events, we will post individual artists accomplishments and activities. For example, if you are a full member, and are participating in an exhibit or created a new work, let us know.
Send Ed Fitzgerald - edfitztech@gmail.com - a photo(s) and a brief description.

We now have a presence on Instagram

Anything we post on Facebook will now be posted on Instagram as well. If you have an Instagram account, please follow SRA  @scanticriverartisans.
If you don’t have an Instagram account, you should!
It is a great way to gain exposure and connect with wider audiences.
Its visual nature is perfect for both creators and art lovers.
