To attend all you have to do is sign up as Patrons at the $100.00 level (although more would be appreciated). As a SAA Patron, you will have to pay the same fees as the artists to go to the Wild Animal Park and the Zoo, and would also have to pay $50.00/person to attend the Awards Banquet on Saturday night.

They will also receive a copy of the SAA exhibition catalog, and would have their name included in the catalog as patrons. Patron Support Form
