Welcome to Our World!

South Bay Art Association was founded in 1956 to encourage the creation and appreciation of the Visual Arts. Thanks to the efforts of some very dedicated artists, the organization we now know as SBAA was formed and has grown into the wonderful group it is today- we have had over 50 years' worth of Membership Exhibits, have given thousands of dollars towards student scholarships over the years, and this year, our annual outdoor fine art show, Artists on the Lane, celebrates its 50th year!
We offer weekly portrait sketch groups, summer en plein air, monthly demos, an informative monthly newsletter, and of course, the annual Members Exhibit, held over Memorial Day Weekend at the Bellport Community Center.

Throughout our long history, SBAA has been grateful for the kind support of the Village of Bellport for allowing us the use of the Community Center for all our meetings and shows. Bellport is our home base, for over 50 years!

For more info on SBAA, visit www.bellport.com/sbaa for all our events and news. We are on Google calendar also which can be accessed from that site.

Membership is only $25. per year, and if you don't want to be a member, donations are gladly accepted for our Student Scholarship Fund. Our Student Show is held annually on the weekend before Thanksgiving, at the Community Center (4 Bell St., Bellport) with high schools from all over Long Island participating. HS Seniors who are pursuing a career in the visual arts are invited to compete for over $6,000 in Scholarship Awards.
Hope to see you at the Member's Show on Memorial Day Weekend!
