The Critique Artist for our 68th Annual Art Show will be Stan Sours
Stan Sours is the esteemed SAA Critique Artist this year. He lives and works in his studio in Weed CA. His primary medium is painted wood sculpture and is also known for his paintings, drawings and prints.
Stan received his BA from CSU Chico with an emphasis on drawing and printmaking in 1979. He returned to CSU Chico and completed his Master’s degree in sculpture in 1990. During his time at Chico State, he worked with such notables as Ken Morrow, Janet Turner, Michael Bishop, George Segal, Robert Graham, Italo Scanga, and Michael Lucero.
In 1987 Stan developed and implemented a Fine Art program for a private high school in Northern CA. There he served as department chair and taught classes in introduction to art, sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking and art history. Many of his students continued their education at some of the finest Art colleges in the country Parsons in NY, the Road Island School of Design in RI, Savana College of Art and Design in GA, and the CA College of Art in Oakland CA to name a few.
After leaving that position, he continued teaching at Shasta College in Redding CA. There he taught classes in painting and drawing. Stan has been an exhibiting artist since the early 1970s and has exhibited his work nationally. Stan’s Art is in several notable collections including the Janet Turner print collection CSU Chico, the Museum of Northern CA Art in Chico CA and the Turtle Bay Museum in Redding CA.

Welcome to the Siskiyou Artists Association (SAA) website. We are a congenial group of Northern California artists who meet regularly to exchange ideas and learn more about visual arts
SAA supports local artists by providing critiques and demonstrations at scheduled meetings, workshops, and an annual show in late summer. Each year the association also awards a scholarship to a local graduating high school or college art student. SAA has been active in Siskiyou County for more than sixty years.

How the “Artist of the Year” is chosen –
At each Critique meeting, people are invited to select three of their favorite works. This created the pool of candidates for “Artwork of the Year”. At the February Meeting these pieces are again presented for voting.
The winner of that vote becomes the “Artist of the Year” and has their name engraved on a beautiful silver-plated trophy which they hold for the entire year.
