Meet your Regional Rep

SAQA's 40+ regions offer more localized social and educational opportunities to our widespread network of members. Contact your regional rep to find out what's going on in YOUR region. Every region is different but activities can include exhibitions, workshops, meetings, online communities, and more.

Make a Local Connection

Interested in meeting up with other SAQA members in your area? Find out how easy it is to participate in a Local Connection - these are more informal gatherings that members can organize.

Participate in our online community

Connect with other members by participating in our Facebook and Yahoo groups, open to all SAQA members. We talk about art, our creative journeys and what inspires us. Come share your artwork, ask your questions, and make new friends around the world.  

Join a Special Interest Group

SAQA offers a series of online discussion groups called Special Interest Groups (SIGs). These meetings take place "virtually" using Zoom video conferencing technology. It's a fun way to meet other SAQA members and discuss art-related topics.

Find out who we are!
