Dear Members and Friends,
The SAA's mission is to ensure that you, as a patron, are inspired by the wide range of engaging and enriching studio classes, gallery exhibits, lectures, artist demonstrations, related bus tours, community outreach projects and special events that occur annually and daily at the Somerset Art Association. Generous donations provided in part by patrons like you help to make it all possible.

From conversations with students, volunteers, faculty, patrons and visitors, we know and agree the arts are not a luxury; they are essential to the health and vitality of our communities. They enhance community development, spur urban renewal, attract new businesses and are proud members of the business community.
SAA's Annual Giving Campaign is vital in helping SAA to sustain and strengthen its mission. Each and every gift has a direct impact and supports the diverse programs we offer. SAA's operating budget is only partially covered by program registration fees, and support received from the NJ State Council on the Arts was drastically decreased this year due to state budget cuts.
By making a contribution today, your gift is an investment in keeping the arts alive in our community. Thank you for your past, present and future support.
Sincerely,
Dr. John M. Cross
President, Board of Trustees
