Throughout the history of this event one thing has not changed: the dedication of our volunteers and our sponsors. The majority of the work to put on the show is done by SBAA members. Throughout the year, we hold a raffle for artwork that has been donated by our members, and this raffle is offered to the general public at our Membership Show and during Artists on the Lane. Through the generous donations of patrons, members and friends, we have been able to award our Scholarships. Two other organizations have joined us in our mission to
"encourage the creation and appreciation of the visual arts" by giving out their own scholarship awards during our show: they are the Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Women Sharing Art, Inc. We thank these two groups for their generous contributions to our show and to our mission of providing assistance to High School Seniors who are pursuing their education in the visual arts.
