Welcome to SCACA

The Simcoe County Arts & Crafts Association is an organization of artists and crafts people of all ages who reside in Simcoe County. Founded in 1945 by a group of local artists and crafters, the Simcoe County Arts & Crafts Association has continued and grown with the assistance of many volunteers and members. In 2010, we are entering our 65th year!

General meetings are held throughout the year at the Simcoe County Museum in Midhurst. For more information about the year's planned projects, visit the Meetings and for these and other craft events check out our Calendar.  To join us, please click here and consider becoming a member.

Our biggest event of each year is the Simcoe County Quilt, Rug and Craft Fair held in September each year at the Simcoe County Museum.  Read more.

We've had an exciting two years of our Trillium grant. Thanks to the Ontario Trillium Foundation grant it has allowed us to start another annual affair ... the Celebration of Arts & Crafts ... held the first Saturday in March where people are introduced to many different crafts in a day of demonstration and tryouts. It is followed by a month of courses in each of these crafts. Watch the website for information at the beginning of the new year.

Our website has become more interactive with a list of Artists in Simcoe County and a list of Studios and Teachers coming. By joining the website, you can register yourself with your own contact information.  You can also find a growing list of Guilds and Craft Groups in Simcoe County and other resources for those who are new, or old,  to crafting.

In June of 2009 we held a Themed Mixed Media Juried Competition which was open to the public with a special section for our course participants. We used the theme of the UN's International Year of Astronomy, which is the third year of its Year of the Planet Earth. See a presentation of all the entries and winners in the competition.
