The Santa Clarita Artists Association is a nonprofit group of local artists who believe in a vibrant community through the arts. Providing scholarships is a priority for the association. Scholarships are awarded each year to Santa Clarita Valley high school art students who plan on continuing art education or careers.

These students will receive their awards at the SCAA’S general meeting scheduled 6:30 p.m. May 20 at Barnes and Noble Valencia. Samples of their work will be on display at the SCAA’S annual fundraiser, The Art Classic, on Sept. 28. Both the May meeting and the Art Classic are open to the public.
