About Us

Mission Statement

The Surface Art Association (SAA) includes artists who work in a variety of media and is dedicated to artists whose primary focus are the creative use, alteration and embellishment of textile/fiber surfaces. This includes, but is not limited to weaving, painting on fiber and textile surfaces, collage, sculpture, complex cloth, art to wear, and mixed media. Some members are exhibiting fine artists and others are just getting started in their creative ventures. SAA in addition to the artists in their membership, welcomes educators and individuals who are interested in sharing their creative knowledge and innovations, exhibiting artwork and furthering the dialogue of surface design.

We meet bi-monthly in the Powell Gallery of the Design Center located on the Woodbury University Campus in Burbank, California. Meetings often feature a presentation by a guest speaker.
