JOIN US FOR STAA’S free MEMBER EXCLUSIVE MONTHLY EVENT:
ARTIST COMMUNITY NIGHTS!

Starting in March, join us each month for Artist Community Night, a welcoming and creative gathering designed to bring St. Tammany Art Association members together for inspiration, connection, and hands-on exploration.

Each month features a fresh theme — from collaborative conversations and mini workshops to outdoor sketch walks, critique salons, storytelling nights, and more. Whether you’re looking to spark new ideas, meet fellow artists, or simply enjoy a relaxed evening of creativity, this series offers a space to grow your practice and deepen your ties within the STAA community.
Come create, connect, and be part of a vibrant monthly tradition that celebrates the many ways art brings us together.

On March 4th, artists are encouraged to bring a signature piece of work to display. Discuss the media, subjects, and techniques that inspire your work! We’ll also discuss your hopes and goals for STAA’s ACNs, and how we can all collaborate on making those visions come to life!
