Our Art Galleries & Exhibitions

SCAA’s goal for over 52 years has been to expand its outreach exhibits on behalf of SCAA member artists, other local, regional and national artists, as well as exhibiting the works of art educators and their students. As Art can build and strengthen our communities, SCAA works to use public spaces to exhibit artwork, to blend other art mediums including collaborations with pop up live musical or dance performances, and to create an art focused public awareness and recognition for each exhibit and its community. Fun, learning, and appreciation of the arts are the benefits to our communities when having art in public spaces.

Contact us if you would like to have SCAA host an art show event to continue the tradition of art in our communities. And, for this all volunteer organization, consider exhibit volunteering as an option, or better yet, becoming a member to continue the tradition of community at its best.

NJE is an SCAA tradition since 1987 with an annual national competition of art from all over the nation displayed for the community as art in a public places. For more than 52 years of reaching out to artists, our all-volunteer non-profit organization has been very fortunate to have such a strong response from so many talented and accomplished local, regional and national artists. SCAA has been gratified by the large number of entries received for National Juried Exhibit, in terms of both execution and creativity.

The annual competition includes all mediums with the Call for Artists posted locally and on a national call for art registry.  NJE is a juried show adjudicated by a third party, who is an accomplished artist and/or an art instructor with many years’ experience. Each year the talent of our applicants makes the selection process competitive and the judge's job more difficult.

The collaboration of art within a library setting started at the South Cobb Regional Library with an SCAA proposal to include library space as part of the NEA grant project.  The SCAA 2016-17 National Endowment for the Arts project became a reality with the original ten panels of art (1000 Words to depict images of reading) created by artist Miles Davis, and made with a partial medium of discarded books, was installed at the South Cobb Regional Library. One piece is permanently displayed at the Sewell Mill Library.  

As with the other SCAA public art spaces, the North Cobb Regional Library location includes new exhibits from local artists, students, groups and an occasional musical note or blending of collaborative arts. Check out the art at these limited locations because soon it will be replaced by something new and so artistic.
