SCAA Staff

ART IS WHERE YOU FIND IT.

Art at Rooted – 2022 has been a good year for art, and we at SCAA were keen on ending the year with one more solid exhibit and we think we succeeded.

In November, our gallery volunteers finished setting up the new “Art Is Where You Find It” exhibit at Rooted Trading Co. in Powder Springs, and we are excited about the unique combination of art on display and for sale.

The display comprises an intriguing admixture by well-received, long-time exhibitors and some new members bringing different outlooks.

As always, art will be shared on social media in the coming days, but we at SCAA hope you will visit Rooted Trading Co. to see them in person during the holiday break.

After all, ART IS WHERE YOU FIND IT and you do not want to miss the opportunity of seeing a great collection of art.
