The Santa Clara Art Association was formed in 1964 under the name "Mission City Artists." The purpose of the SCAA is to help, by example and assistance, the furtherance of individual talent and to support, whenever possible, any activity that promotes community intrest and appreciate of art.

The SCAA enjoys close ties with the City of Santa Clara through the City's Cultural Advisory Commission, the City Manager's Offie and the Triton Museum of Art, and is a member of the Santa Clara Arts and Historical Consortium.

The Association has an annual art show at the Rose Shenson Community Art Gallery located on the grounds behind the Triton Museum of Art.

Regular meetings are held at 6:45 pm on the first Wednesday of each month (except July and December) in the cafeteria of the Santa Clara City Hall, 1500 Warburton Avenue, Santa Clara. Members display their work at each meeting, and awards are given in various categories. Each regular meeting also features a demonstration by a guest artist. Refreshments are served. These meetings are open to the public, and guests are welcome.

"Artist of the Year' awards are presented at the annual holiday party/installation banquet.

The SCAA also publishes a monthly newsletter that contains timely information about art events.
