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. Every first Wednesday, artists of all backgrounds meet to share ideas, learn from one another, and build a stronger creative community.
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!

Join STAA on Sunday, December 7th at 2:00pm for a talk with Barranger Gallery exhibition artist Michael Guidry! Drinks and light refreshments will be provided.

Enter our Raffle with the Chance to Win Your Choice of 2 24x30 inch Michael Guidry Prints! Choices include Birds of the Southern Coast and Nanabird with Dragonflies.
$5 per ticket or 10 Tickets for $40!
Proceeds benefit STAA Exhibition Programming

In conjunction with our recent fibers show, “Thick With Color,” Morris discusses her works focus on personal worth within the realm of commodity culture, as it determines desirability on an individual level, and thus makes trophies of us all. She discusses her artworks, both lithographic and sculptural, the transitions and juxtapositions between the two, as well as delves into the meanings behind the use of materials, such as the taxidermy form, as they relate to commodity culture and consumerisms view on individuals but especially women.
