Created by SAA students across every grade, 'Woven Together' is a celebration of community, creativity, and the beauty of many individual contributions becoming one shared work of art. Enter to win this wonderful piece of SAA: https://bit.ly/SAARaffle

Each grade added its own layer to the original canvas using a different medium - from pencil, crayon, watercolor, and tempera paint sticks to permanent markers, metallic pens, and more. The completed canvas was then cut into strips and reassembled onto a new canvas, transforming hundreds of individual marks into a unified, textured composition.
