SCWCA's 2026 Table Talks
Our 50th Anniversary
​Get-together Series

Table Talks
Every month beginning January 2026 at least one of our members will host an intimate gathering centered around a topic, theme, or program of their choosing. These are not formal events, but welcoming, inclusive spaces to share food, stories, and creativity. I'm excited to share the following confirmed Table Talks. Please take a moment to read all four invitations provided by the host(s). I'm sure you'll find at least one, if not more, that you'll want to attend. Be sure to rsvp early to secure your spot.​

Tag group shows

As part of SCWCA’s new Association Membership with TAG Gallery, located in Los Angeles, one SCWCA member will have the opportunity to exhibit in each of TAG’s in-person group shows.

The SCWCA artist selected for a group show will be determined by the SCWCA board. A SCWCA member can only exhibit in one TAG group show per year. 2D and 3D work is accepted. Prints of original artwork is not accepted. Work must be for sale with a minimum price of $200. The commission split with TAG is 65% for the artist and 35% to TAG. TAG is not strict about the dimensions for the artwork in the group shows,
however, the group shows are hung in TAG’s Sky gallery, with quite low ceilings which doesn’t favor very large works. Hanging is at the discretion of the hanging team. TAG group shows are on exhibit for approximately three weeks. You must be able to drop-off your work to TAG on the date listed below for the specific show you are
submitting to. No shipping allowed. You will be notified of the pickup date if you are selected - pick-ups are usually the day after the show closes.
