Who are Sarnia Arts & Crafts Club?
Sarnia Arts & Crafts Club (SACC) was established in 1924 and celebrates its 100th birthday in 2024. Every year, the SACC committee organises a programme of events and activates for its members. These include demonstrations and workshops by local and visiting artists. Members can also try out a variety of mediums and crafts as well as regular competitions and opportunities to show and sell their own work.

Throughout the year there are several events and activities taking place to celebrate SACC’s 100th birthday. One of these plans is an ambitious community project, One Brushstroke, in which islanders have the opportunity to add one brushstroke to a digital canvas which creates a piece of artwork, made by and for the people of Guernsey.
