A nonprofit association of artists from western Connecticut and surrounding areas, SCAN welcomes artists of all skill levels who work in watercolor, oil, acrylic, pastel, graphics, mixed media, and pencil.

Now in its 47th year, SCAN members have brought the arts to the community with demonstrations featuring professional artists, art shows, classes, workshops, and model sessions for artists to hone their talents and skills. Through their membership they provide scholarships to graduating seniors who have been accepted to art schools.

The association was founded by Larry Newquist to fulfill a cultural need in Newtown and surrounding communities. Today SCAN boasts a membership of more than 200 artists from western Connecticut and the Hudson Valley of New York.

Adele Moros, president of SCAN, remarked about the Wilton Library exhibition.

"We are delighted to be exhibiting in such a beautiful space," said Ms Moros. "With more than 120 works, the library is a wonderful showcase for our talented artists."
