We strive to promote a balance of art programming at SAC including events that showcase dance, theatre, visual and literary arts, and we are currently in need of individuals who are interested in joining us in our endeavors. Applicants must be willing to work hard on a volunteer basis and should have insight and experience in one of the above mentioned artistic fields.
