SCA Annual Art Contest Winners

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the SCA Open Studio Tours, we invited participating Open Studio Tour artists to enter our annual Art Contest. This year’s theme is Reflections. Artists were encouraged to seek insight and draw upon their experience as an SCA artist and create a work of art that looks back at their growth and ahead as they explore a creative new year.

Reflecting upon our work, as a group and individually, allows us to grow stronger and more confident.

Congratulations to our winners and to all of the artists who participated in the contest!

We look forward to seeing you out on the tours this summer!
