NCSFA stands for education--education of its members and its scholarship winners. We are a not-for-profit group dedicated to the furtherance of fine art in our communities. We meet on the second Thursday of the month at Bernardo Heights Community Center, 16150 Bernardo Heights Parkway; entrance off Avenida Venuto, in Rancho Bernardo 92128.

As to number and type of meetings, currently, we do not meet in December, June, July, August or the month of the scholarship tea, which is October in 2008. Art demonstrations are in September, January, March and April. Critiques of members' artwork by a qualified teacher/artist are in November and February. We meet in May for a potluck dinner, installation of new officers and introduction of the scholarship recipients.

Once a year, we host a Scholarship Tea for the community from which we derive much of the resources we use for the scholarships we award. These are given at the end of school semester to graduating students, chosen for their expertise in art, consisting of funds sent to the college of their choice for needed supplies in their freshman year.

About once a year we present a juried invitational art exhibit.
