SGAA & SAMA

For more than 100 years, The Stained Glass Association of America’s annual summer conference has served a vital role in the industry, bringing together artists and studios from across the country to exchange ideas and perspectives. This year’s national conference marks the beginning of our partnership with the Society of American Mosaic Artists. By partnering with SAMA’s 20- year legacy of inspiring, educating and promoting excellence in mosaic arts, SGAA and SAMA are setting the stage for an expansion of opportunity for artists, historians, manufacturers, architects, designers and preservationists in both membership communities.
