2022 SAQA Conference - Bridging the Gulf: Fabric to Fine Art

2022 Virtual Conference

Our annual SAQA conference "Bridging the Gulf - Fabric to Fine Art" will be held online from April 29-May 7, 2022. For this year, we’re going to beautiful Florida and the Gulf states for our virtual experience, with fresh fish and sandy beaches all over the place!  Even though most of us will not physically be in sunny Florida, our local committee has been working for a couple of years now to put the Floridian flavor on this conference in every way they can.

This will be our third time presenting an international conference in a virtual format, and we are confident it will be the best one yet!  No matter where you live, you’ve got something special to look forward to!

“If you attended our 2020 or 2021 virtual conferences, you know how fabulous they were! We’ve learned so much about creating community, sharing world-class presentations, offering a wide variety of content, and using technology in unique ways — all in a virtual space.
