Outreach
Educational initiatives have always been an integral part of SSG programming. SSG is committed to providing the Charlottesville region access to art by connecting artists and their work with the local community.
SSG offers over a dozen outreach programs, ranging from in-school art workshops to group art making activities through Family Art Day or the Public Art project.
