Powered by GoogleI have always had a great experience with SAAC, and love when I get to have art on display in their gallery! Their location being paired with an artisanal micro bakery is a wonderful move on their part.
Appreciate the support of our local music scene. I sadly don't know much about the place other than that.
The gallery is stunning, and the artist exhibits are the best events for downtown! Keep up the great work, SAAC!
John Bateman is extremely helpful and is doing a fantastic job bringing exciting opportunities to Starkville. As a "creative" himself, John truly understands the importance of supporting the arts locally.
They need to update their application process for the Cotton District Arts Festival; submitting a CD with art sample pictures could be very inconvenient for young artists who may not have CDs or who have new computers that don't have a DVD drive. Otherwise, I appreciate the work these people do, most of which are volunteers. And they do a good job too.
