SAQA Conferences

Pollinate + Create
 
Get ready to Pollinate + Create at our next SAQA in-person conference, April 29 - May 1, 2027. 
 
SAQA’s conference will be hosted near Detroit, Michigan, a city where art, innovation, and creativity are woven into its rich history and vibrant future. As we gather with fellow SAQA members, we will explore some of the region’s exceptional cultural treasures. 
 
Our SAQA Global Exhibition, “Pollinators” will be on display at the Detroit Zoo, where the beauty of the natural world offers endless inspiration for color, pattern and texture. 
 
Cranbrook, an internationally renowned center for art, architecture, and design, with stunning gardens, galleries, and the acclaimed Cranbrook Academy of Art will be an integral part of our conference.

Time is built in for networking, lectures, visiting local galleries, restaurants, and world class museums including the Detroit Institute of Arts. 

We invite you to come see, explore and create with us. You’ll leave with fresh ideas, new perspectives, friendships, and memories that will last long after the conference ends.

Registration will open in October. Limited spots will be available.
